A Look at Nelson Mandela's Life


The story is about Nelson Mandela standing up for Africans and trying to give better lives to children and other ages. Nelson Mandela has been dedicated to bring equality that he continued it for most of his life until he got arrested in 1962.


It wasn’t until 1990 that change finally came to South Africa. Nelson Mandela was finally released after 27 years of imprisonment and three years later he was awarded The Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end apartheid.

Months after he was elected president Since he stepped down as president in 1999, Nelson Mandela has been dedicated to ending global poverty and helping to resolve wars and conflicts throughout Africa.

My Book Poem

How to Make A Book Spine


WALT:Create a Book Spine Poem


  • Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
  • Oh, The Places You’ll Go
  • Where the Wild Things Are
  • Good Night, Gorilla
  • Stone Soup


To make a book spine poem, you would start by moving these books around into stacks with the spines together so that the titles are like the lines of a poem. You would keep moving the book titles around into different stacks until you find the “lines” that go best together to make a poem. For example, one set of titles might describe a story:


Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Oh, The Places You’ll Go
Where the Wild Things Are


In this story, if you let the pigeon drive the bus, you might end up going a lot of unexpected places.

My Book Spine Poetry:


Once A Upon A Time
When dad did the washing

Putting on a Concert and the Television News
The Race Monster Car

Earthquake: Acrostic Peom

Estimated time
Astounding sights

Rocking cables

Tables are disabled
Homes shake with
Quakes
Uneasy life
Avalanches of debris
Kilometers of cracks
Earth everywhere in Christchurch way back
