"Mighty Moose-Big Backyard"

If I were going to write a report on moose, I would use this article because it tells a lot about moose. For example, it tells about where they live and a bit about what they eat.

"Life in the Trees is a Breeze-Ranger Rick"

If I were going to write a report on orangutans, I would not use this article because it doesn't tell a lot about orangutans, it mostly talks about ones life.

"Tropical Deforestation-Observatory"

If I were going to write a report on deforestation, I would use this article because it talks about deforestation, how is it caused, how is it bad, and it even has a graph.

POEMS

I Can't Wait to go Home

I can't wait to go home

it's swimming pool behind it.

That stretch of forest so full of animals

(but snakes so dangerous come with it.)

I can't wait, I can't wait

I can't wait to go home.

Night

Darkness

Filled the air

as I slowly walked in the dense woods

I heard the hoot of an owl

it sounded like an angel

My eyes slowly looked up

and as I was looking at the moon 

I thought 

What a wonderful sight to see at night.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trashed Oceans

It's blue

It's all blue

It used to be blue

but now

It's totally black

It's trash

It's trash in the ocean.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Wonder

I wonder if the gods are real

or if whales like their meals.

I wonder why hummingbirds hum

and if plankton are really that dumb.

I wonder why we have hair

or why we breathe in air.

All these questions too many to answer,

but one more,

how do you cure cancer?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Looked at the Sky

I looked at the sky
as dawn came.
I looked at the sky
as sunset turned it scarlet red.
I looked at the sky
with moonlight shining on my head.
I looked at the sky
as dawn returned.

Pen Pal's Pencil

Pen pal's pencil packed with possums.
Pen pal's pencil pounded poodles.
Pen pal's pencil pulls a pygmy pig.
Pen pal's pencil is magic, it goes POOF!

Concerns About the World Poetry

When Will We End the Madness?

dedicated to all the animals already gone

With ozone holes and temperatures rising,

Habitat destruction and overexploitation,

The animals are dying.

Should we just stand by, while acid rains from the sky.

Should we look away, when the sea creature's decay

The whole world suffers with each loss.

What kind of world will our children see?

Perhaps they will even be casualties of our selfishness.

When will we end the madness?

It's not yet too late.

Even small sacrifices can create,

When added together, incredible savings in total.

Won't you please help, even if just a little?

Concerns About the World Poetry

THE OCEAN

By June Choi

I used to shine
in the beautiful sunlight.

The seaweed danced
in my current.
My waves would crash against a rock,
and bring small hermit crabs to shore.
I could feel
the warm, soft sand,
and see the lovely clam shells.
Inside me,
schools of fish,
and colourful coral reefs swayed.
Sky blue dolphins
used to jump around me!
But now
I do not shine in the beautiful sunlight.
I am green and murky.
The seaweed
will not dance anymore.
My waves
will not bring hermit crabs to shore.
The coral reefs
have turned pale white and are dying.
The men
have taken over me.

They have taken my friends
that once swayed in my current,
and my friends that swam inside me.
I am dead…
I am a dead ocean…
