Explanation (Plastic Pollution)

Did you know plastic pollution is a big problem to our ocean and marine life? Plastic pollution is taking over our coastlines. Plastic pollution is an environmental issue that affects our ocean, marine life and land. Many of our oceans are polluted with plastic. Think about Thailand, their oceans are so polluted that it changed from normal looking water to pitch black.

When the plastic washes up into the water, seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food. They also get caught up in plastic and the rubbish which ends up deforming the marine animals. There are pictures of turtles who’s shells have been deformed because they have been caught up in the plastic. Do you feel good about that?

When you litter your rubbish it goes to the water system and leads to the ocean. It gets washed up on our coastlines. Then it degrades into small pieces of plastic that get washed into the ocean. Seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food or get caught up in the plastic who then get deformed. 

If you see a piece of plastic just take some time to pick it up and put it in the bin. A small action could make a big change. So use the rubbish bin.

This week for writing was all about explanations.This was our first explanation for 2020, the thing that we learnt from this is how plastic pollution is causing big damages to our oceans. The one thing i found interesting form writing this was how over 500,000 sea birds die each year which is a big disaster to our country.

Explanation

Should NZ ban Plastic Straws?

Plastic straws could be really useful for having a good drink without spilling it on you, but in my opinion we should ban them. Like think about it is effecting our sea creatures by people not being bothered to throw there rubbish in the bin which is decreasing the population of sea animals. Imagian you being a turtle and you see a plastic straw and eat it and you relies that, it was a bad dissension to eat the plastic straw, so then your air ways get blocked you can't Breath! then someone relies that you have pass.

Did you know that plastic straw take 500 years to biodegrade. From my calculations when it arrives to 2050 there would more plastic then sea creatures in our oceans if you keep on leaving your rubbish on the floor then the population of plastic will decrees the population of sea creatures until they become extinct. If this is effecting our sea life then we should stop and use reusable straws. I know plastic straws can be useful in all but it is really causing a very big disaster to our oceans. You couldn't be able to go to the beach because of all the pollution in the sea or even fish because it could be most likely for you to get a piece of rubbish instead of a fish.

Do you like fishing do you like going to the beach do you like being fascinated by sea creatures. Then Just stop just stop throwing rubbish into our oceans you would be dieng to go to the beach to surf some narly waves but you cant because you there are to much rubbish in our oceans.

So please just please don't throw plastic straws or any type of plastic away because they might be useful to build yourself a mini house of a big cat mansion or even a catapult to launch objects at you Lego. I am just saying this because I want all our oceans to be safe especially our sea creatures.

Explanation

This week for writing My partner Karlos and I made an explanation sketch note showing the different parts of what an explanation needs in it and the structure,language features and others. The reason why we learnt this is because we have a writing test soon and we have to write an explanation for it.

Explanation

L.I: Is to write detailed paragraphs. This week for writing I wrote a full explanation by using a copy of a google doc. Paragraphs are little 3 and over sentences they make you r explanation more bigger and have more information. First I made a copy of a Venus fly trap google doc. After that I had to add extra detail to the  google doc of the Venus fly trap the 3 things I had to fix was the introduction,explanation and the conclusion. Last I had to copy and paste my work into an real explanation.

Aluminium Cans - Explanation

Aluminium cans are first starts of with bauxite. Then it gets smelts and turns into ingots then rolled up into a aluminium sheet and a machine cuts holes (Cupping pressing) to make the base of the can.

 From the cupping pressing it goes to the body maker. Each can gets forced to high speed into the body maker that makes the base of the can. Then the cans go to the trimmer that cuts the can into its right height. After that the cans go to a special washer that cleans up the left over lubricants then gets forced to move to the oven. Then after the oven the cans go to the printer that colors the cans to make its new notes. 

Then once it has finished it always gets tested and then it goes to another factory and then makes the tops of the cans named the press witch stamps the tops and the it makes the lids.

L.I Is to write a 10 sentence explanation. This week I did an writing session. This weeks writing session I learned how to make an explanation and what is it. First I had to make a copy of a google doc. after that I had to make a planner about the explanation and then I had to write the actual explanation.
