Hero's and Villains Narrative writing

 In Hur 4 we have been doing writing on Hero's and Villains. We did the Narrative writing in buddies so when we finish we can buddie check the other person's writing. My buddie is Dyaln. I haven't really finished my story I just need to go over it more and edit some stuff but here is my writing still. You can't Embed a Doc so here's the link. I have a lot of writing. More than most of the people in the class. I started losing ideas near the end and middle.

Diamante Poem

In Hur 4 we have been learning about different types of poems. The one we have been learning about is a diamante poem. Diamante poems are were you get the name of someone or something and you put that word at the top. The next line you put two adjectives about that thing/person. The next line is three words and the words are going to be a verb. Then the next line is what that thing/person does. Before you do anything else you put for the last line something that's bad or the opposite of the first word/thing. Then go back to the other line and write three verbs. The last line is very obvious what you do. You write two objectives. We had to do one but about a story we read. Here's my diamante poem. The story was the Taniwha in the Rakaia gorge.

Taniwha

Clever, brave

Hard working, helping, splashing

Cleans the water for everyone to use

Blowing, whistling, howling

Rude, mean

Nor west wind/Te Maru

Tapa cloth. Tuna i te Rangi

In Hur 4 what is poetic arts we have been making Tapa cloth. Tapa cloth is where you soak and beat bark and spread it out to make a cloth like material. Then you put some patterns on it. It's a pretty fun thing to do. We made a draft and made a good copy after that. Then we had to make a haiku about our Tapa cloth. The things we drew was some stuff about the story we read and some of the stuff in the story. The story is called the creation of tuna. It's an awesome story. There was the one from the book and the one from a video. More about the Tapa cloths is that there are dozens of different cultures that do it. Now even more about the creation of tuna is that tuna in English is eel. Tuna came down from his dry heavens and immediately swam into a lake what was named Muriwai o whata. His name was Tuna i te Rangi. He lived there for many years. He swam under someones legs and got stuck in a trap. He got taken and cut up into four pieces. They all got thrown into different places. The head turned into the Conger eel, the tail turned into the blind eel and the lamprey eel and the other body parts turned into the fresh water eel. That's all and here's my haiku and my Tapa cloth. In it is eels, a sun, hinaki in a river, A river, a tree and a pa/marae. If you see any mistakes that don't make sense or any lines please tell me.

A flowing brown tree
Fast and hard to walk across
Awaiting a fish.
