I Can Take Action to Improve the Water Cycle in Canterbury

Take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with Emma and we decided to create a children's story book.

In this project we decided that our success criteria were:

• Eye catching covers
• An interesting title
• Colourfull illustrations
• Rhyme is possible

Overall our project met this criteria because our book included all the traits above.

This is our final project

The Water Cycle

The hydraulic cycle, (commonly known as the water cycle) takes an important part in our everyday lives; This includes four key stages: Condensation, evaporation, precipitation and finally, groundwater/ runoff. The water which is recycled continuously changes state from a liquid, solid and vapour.

Condensation/ Evaporation

Evaporation is where water molecules in rivers, oceans etc rises back up into the air and turns to a vapour. When the air’s warmer it speeds up the process. The step that follows on from this  (condensation) changes the water vapour to clouds. This happens due to the weather change.

Precipitation

Precipitation is yet another stage in the water cycle. Rain, snow, sleet and hail are all differential forms of precipitation. The invisible water molecules that has risen up into the sky collects into a cloud, even if you can’t see it the air is full of water and, once a cloud's full that's when precipitation happens. The amount of precipitation that’s happening is different all around the world. Where does all of this go, you ask?

Groundwater/ Runoff

Groundwater has many purposes. It can be used for plants, aquifers, rivers and oceans. Once the precipitation falls, some water flows over the ground (runoff) when other water soaks in and becomes  groundwater. Groundwater in Christchurch is actually our tap water, of course, it’s cleaned so it’s healthy for us to drink.

Conclusion

Overall, the water cycle is very important to New Zealand and all over the world- it has many uses such as domestic/ household use.

The parts highlighted in green are the places where I included commas, semi colons, hyphens, brackets and parentheses.

Writing Prove It- Include Punctuation In My Writing

W.A.L.T: Include punctuation in my writing

This is my entry and exit ticket. 

Here is one of my paragraphs of why the school day should be shorter proving I have improved on my goal, I think that my solo level would be relational because I can make connections between my writing.

I guess you haven't noticed but us children  are soooooo fatigue during there long school hours. Now I figure  you haven't noticed because if you have would've done something. Right? Right!?   Well,let me tell you why the average child (or lazy child ) gets up at ten in the morning! That  was until school. Now we are forced to wake up at seven thirty or, wait for it... EVEN EARLIER! If you are thinking what I'm thinking school should start later and end earlier...

Writing Evidence- Ideas

Part of my story:

W.A.L.T: Include ideas in my writing 

I heard a wailing siren sound in the distance. Wait a second,what was that strange man doing lying in the middle of the pavement?! As I am quite a curious fly I wandered over to the crime scene, he was still not even twitching. I decided to tickle him, after all who isn't ticklish? Wow, he's good! I thought. He didn't even flinch! Just after I tasered him a few times and was convinced this was just a person that was very tired and decided to have a nap a flashing police car came to an abrupt halt several meters away from me. That's when I noticed the astonished mob of people surrounding me and I realized it mightn't of  looked like I was trying to help him. I felt a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead  and saw one of the stern police man shook their head disapprovingly and cuffed my abnormally long legs behind my back... 
The highlighted bits are where I included scenes eg sound, sight and touch. Since I included several of these throughout my story and not the same ones I think that my solo level would be 'multistuctural'. My next step would probably be to include that amount in each paragraph because I didn't include that many in every paragraph.
