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!
