Earth Day Poem

Each student was asked to put together a four lined poem in AABB style for Earth Week that is coming up next week. It is pretty cute what they came up with because the students are learning English as a second language, so even though most of their english language is strong, some struggled. Together as a class, this is what everyone wrote:


Save the Earth!

Vincent - Everybody knows that Global Warming is bad
It melts all the ice caps, making polar life sad

Vincent - The earth is hot
It’s like the fire under the pot

Kevin - The sun is also very hot
Like a burning pot

Kevin - We cannot live without the sun
Or we don’t have any fun

Lawrence - Make sure you have sunscreen when you are having fun
Or you’ll get hurt by the sun

Lawrence - When too much light comes through
It melts the ice, what can we do?


Joanne - Pollution is causing a huge hole
Please stop that huge hole

Joanne - Stop making pollution
Trouble is coming from pollution

Grace -The atmosphere is helpful to us
But we are hurting it with the bus

Grace - I can tell you why
If we don’t have the atmosphere, we will die

Aileen - If you destroy the plants
Where is the habitat of the ants?

Aileen - Plants are the angels in our lives
So don’t cut them, let them be alive

Lily - When the sky turns grey
When there’s nothing left to say

Lily - Where will they go?
Nowhere, we all know

Selena - Throwing the garbage on the ground
And look, it is all around

Selena – I want the sky to be blue
There are many things we can do


Lisa - Recycle is fantastic
Remember to save your plastic

Lisa - Recycle is so strong
That it should not be gone


Rachael - As I watch the sky turn to blue
I wonder what I will do

Rachael - But then as I watch the earth turn grey
My life is full of sadness and dismay

Jessica - Watch the dirty gas in the air
Humans smoke everywhere

Jessica - I don’t want to hurt the earth
I just want to save the earth

Melanie - Plants, forests and trees
Full of the colour green

Melanie - Now the forests are starting to die
It really makes me want to cry

Goldie - The hurricanes and floods
Nothing can stop the blood

Goldie - All these natural disasters
I want to stop them faster

BMW - We need to have a lot of oxygen
It is good for the children

BMW - We are leaning about the cow
We should not eat them now

Dalan - We are killing our trees
Flowers and food for the bees
  
Dalan - Trees are very tall
All the trees are starting to fall

Oscar - Rain can help the plants grow
Rain is helpful we all know

Oscar - Typhoons can stop school for a day
We can all go home to stay

Sharia - But that is not very great
Natural disasters are something we hate


Sharia - It’s really nice if the environment is good
We can do everything we should

Linda - Nature is so precious
But we are so vicious
  
Linda - Nature is slowing fading away
Lets be caring in every way
  
Christine - We want to save us scums
From being toasty buns

Christine - Earth used to be a piece of art
But look at it now, I wish it could all restart

Christine - So save the hole of the Ozone Layer
Don’t let it get any bigger

Dennis - Humans cut down the trees
And number of animal decrease

Dennis - Carbon Dioxide everywhere!
There will be no trees, no animals, no humans, anywhere!

Kev - Please stop hurting the Earth
We’ve been doing it since our birth

Kev - Don’t pollute the air
For every living thing, it’s unfair!!



STOP GLOBAL WARMING!
