Refugee Poem

In this task me and a couple of friends “tried” to make a poem like
Brian Bilston. When you read it down is is against refugees and when
you read it up you are for refugees.

This poem is not made to offend anybody in anyway.

Refugees

They do not need our help

Do not tell us

These fake stories

These hungry faces

Cold blooded bombers

From both sides

Waiting for the right moment

To seek rights

To risk freedoms

Locals are causing havoc

With there dirty little lies

They are Escaping from disaster

No power no water

Don't give them anything

You say.

(Now read from bottom to top)

The Refugee poem was created by Max, Grace and
Sam this poem was made to make people think that he
is against Refugees but if you read the last line it states
(Now read from bottom to top) than it read like he is for
Refugees.

Finding Refugees

WALT make connections across texts, locating
(finding) , retrieving (getting and using), synthesizing (putting it all
together and sifting) and summarising (identifying the important or key points) information.

We will have met the success criteria when we

• Can work out the meaning of new vocabulary.

• Locate information within a text.

• Make connections between ideas

• Synthesize and summarize key ideas

• Make links between our own lives and the lives of others

Learning Challenge: Undertake and complete the investigation into refugees around the world.

• Create a new document in your literacy folder.

• Title it “Finding Refuge”.

• Choose one of the texts from the UNICEF texts Children In Emergencies or from Refugee Stories
• Write down the name of the text you are viewing.
• Read the text and make notes as you go.  Your notes would

• identify the main idea in the article
• Identify where the article takes place, who are the key ‘characters’,
• what the key issues are, which solutions have been tried.

• Think about the text deeply. How did the text make you feel?  What
• did it make you think about? How is your life similar or different to the
• children in the text?

• Consider and develop some solutions to help the children within the text.
• Write these solutions up as a paragraph explaining how and why you would
• adopt these solutions.

Story Site

Main Idea: Cyclone Winston hit Fiji last year, ferocious winds knocked
down everything in their path and the storm surge removed almost all that remains.

Where does the article take place: Tokou Village,Ovalau Island, Fiji

Key Character: 13-year-old Esther,

Key issues: There are only a minimal amount of home and they are
damaged, There is nothing to live on or in.

Solutions that have been tried: Moving the houses up the hill above
sea level, UNICEF and the Ministry of Education is helping the Loreto
Catholic Primary School to get back on its feet.

The text made me feel dark and sad to think about them being it that type of environment.

I think one solution is to move the houses on the hill further to get it of the
sea level but behind the hill so you don't get the gustily wind and is there
was a tsunami it will not reach the houses and families.
