Beach Poem

Where i’m from as I lept off the rough sharp rock I felt like if I was Michael Jordan jumping like a kangaroo sending spray of water up in the air like a water fountain.

Where i’m from I can feel rough sand grinding between my toes feeling gritty like sand paper.

Where I’m from I see kids having fun splashing the water at each other having a war where who goes down first.

Where i’m from I smell

Where i’m from I hear the icecream truck ringing across the road as it comes closer.

Where i’m from I see my brother on my console as I hear the disk spinning round.

Where i’m from I see seagulls squawking on my front lawn as they seek for scraps.

Where i’m from I hear my next door neighbours playing loud music when i’m trying to sleep.

where i’m from I smell something burning from the oven as I hold my nose.

Protester (POV)

In 1981 we the protesters marched down the field ripping the netting off the fence we started chanting “1 2 3 4 we don’t want no racist tour.” As we started to make a human shield in a circle the police began to surround us. The rugby fans started to boo at us  as they threw empty cans and rubbish at us. But luckily we wore helmets and  used our signs made out of wood  as shields.

We were trying to protest the game because of the Springbok Tour. People around the world were  all  starting  to boycott South Africa.  Other countries were put pressure on South Africa to improve their civil  rights and abolish apartheid by  not  trading products  with them or not playing sports with them either. They tried to make South Africa have equal rights with the black people. Mr Muldoon ignored the racist tour and invited South Africa for a game of rugby.

The Hamilton game between New Zealand and South Africa was cancelled during this disaster.

Movie Reflection 2

The message about our movie is Martin Luther King. He was trying to make peace with the black’s and white’s. Our planning we did a animation for our movie because it takes too long to film. We made some changes along the way with our rap. We did not have any filming in our video.

Our graphics for our animation were good and it looked realistic because we traced. I did not think the movie flowed well because we were going back and forth with MLK’s history and it did not make sense

Our group worked ok with the movie and everyone contributed well. We kind of worked out our disagreements.
