Habitat poem

WALT: Write a poem about animal habitats/homes



From under the dirt ,
Or high above the sky,
These places is where
Animals all thrive.



From quietest bush
Or to the loudest jungles,
Or hidden in the deep dark 
Cave away from all harm.



Under a big big rock,
Or buried in the sand,
Or tucked away in a 
Coral where many fish hide.


On a bright sunny grassland,
Or in a wet hot rainforest.

Or out in the open on a Nice cozy plant.

The present: description of the main character

The present: description of the main character

CRASH! His mother wandered into the house. The boy was so concentrated on the video game that he couldn’t take his watchful eyes off the TV screen as if he was in a very crucial part of a match. His glassy beige eyes grew at the sight of something new in the room, but he grew spiteful and disinterested by the thing only having three legs. He forced it carelessly and hatefully onto the solid ground as it whimpered in agony. He wanted to be alone and isolated.

As he went back to playing his game, his glassy beige eyes were super-glued again onto the TV and was not appearing to care at about anything in the living room. He also didn’t seem to have any sympathy or respect towards anyone in this room and he seemed a bit psychotic; he seemed to only care his console and his television...
