Abstruct Noun

Our task was to challenged to write a poem about an abstract noun using the 5 sences known as: Ofactory (smell), Gustatory (taste), Visual (see) tactile (touch) and auditory (hear). One the noun my partner picked was friendship, meaning being friendly to others. In each paragraph we described what we thought the abstract noun would look, smell, feel, hear ,and taste like. We lastly used wordhippo to change our words more powerful and make our poem more powerful.

I found this task fun because I get to enjoy writing poems about different things to learn more.

Momment In Time – Maungarei/Mountain

LI: To write a poem that describes as momment in time.

Our task was to create a poem by using the 5 senses which are Olfactory which means smell, Gustatory which is taste, Visual which is look, Tactile which is feel, and Auditory which is sound. Then we thought of what had happened in the past compared to today, For example: there weren’t many houses built in Auckland so Maori people lived in pa sites. We then wrote some things about what we heard while walking up the Maunga, and I had written things like the rocks rustling, the wind pasting through my ear , and the traffic. Then me and my group had thought of what the past could have heard such as the rustles of the piupiu skirts , the whistle of Tāwhiri-mātea welcoming us into his maunga, the voices of those who fought in the war. 

I really enjoyed this task because when we got back from the mountain I was really inspired about how Liana grandpa talked to my class about the history of Mt Wellington mountain.

Moment In Time – Polar Bear

LI: To write a poem that describes as momment in time.

Our task was to create a poem by using the 5 senses which are Olfactory which means smell, Gustatory which is taste, Visual which is look, Tactile which is feel, and Auditory which is sound. Then we watched a video of a polar bear approaching a man and how we needed to imagine that we were the man. After re-watching the video we thought of some words and then changed them into powerful words to make the poem more exciting. After all, we read our favourite part to the class and my group choice:  I felt… my heart pulsing as the oversized creature rattled my cage with each shake, fear entered every part of my body. Because it explains how I would feel in that situation if a polar which is about 7ft approached me.

I found this activity really fun because we got to experience new words to level up my writing.
