Choice Explanation : Pollution

LI: To make a explanation. 

 Why Is It Important To Make A Wise Choice ?


Do you enjoy the fact that 1 million sea creatures lose their life from our silly actions ? This is cause by our laziness and because instead of putting it in the rubbish bin we purposely throw it on the ground.Our silly actions have started to affect the way other people live and how sea creatures die. You may think throwing a piece of rubbish on the ground doesn’t do anything but behind the scene it does a lot of things to harm our oceans.



It only getting worse by the minute. Specifically 8 million piece of trash is found in our waters, we tend to endanger our sea animals especially our sea birds,seals, and turles. Our rubbish isn’t only on our oceans it also pollutes our river banks,lagoons,lakes, and our beaches. 100 million pieces of trash is found in our oceans. By the time next year comes we will have no fresh water,food, and places to go because we tend to misuse plastic and it ends up in our oceans and more.


For example our sea bird die because they get confuse with plastic and tiny fish and then they end up eating the wrong stuff. When they keep eating plastic sometimes it get caught up in their stomach and throat which makes them unable to eat or digest the plastic. 1 million sea birds die each year just from eating plastic.



Same as turles and marine animals such as dolphins,seals, and whales.100,000 marie animals and turtles die each year from our plastic. Due to this horrid news we have less and less amount of sea creatures in the entire ocean then it did before plastic was made.Their are more plastic than sea life in our ocean which is bad. When next year comes we will have a ocean full of plastic instead of fish and sea creatures. Did you know that one piece of plastic take up to 100 million years for it to decompose, imagen having 8 million piece of plastic every year in our ocean.


We need to stop this before it is too late. Lets make it possible for the next generation to have a healthy looking ocean with lot of marine animals and sea life.  We can help everyone by picking up piece of plastic that you find on the ground.



First we had fime minute timer to plan our ideas for making a wise choice about pollution. After we planned we we asked to have a 40 minute timer to se could write our explanation.I did my explanation on pollution and how we weren't going to have a bright future if their was going to be so much pollution on our ocean.We used the acronym DRAFT and TIIC. DRAFT stands for Delete,Rearrange,Add,Fix, and Talk. TIIC stands for Title,Introduction,Information, and Conclusion.

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines? | Writing

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?


Did you know that plastic makes up 90% of the pollution on the ocean's surface? And most of that plastic waste comes from land, after being carried through drains, rivers and lagoons. This is one of the major issues right now happening all around the world, as it’s polluting the marine environment and killing over 1,000,000 sea animals every year!...We are in a desperate need for a change.


It’s only getting worse, and we continue to sculpt a bad future for ourselves. New Zealand consumes over 30kgs of plastic a year, but only 1/6 of it is being recycled! 
Why? Because we choose to throw our plastic on the ground, instead of simply recycling or putting it in the bin. 


All the plastic we unconsciously leave floating around on streets and pathways are slowly taking out our innocent sea animals. They mistake the pieces of plastic for food, and eat it… killing them. It even gets in our food, making it not safe to eat.


Let’s make a change, by remembering to pick up the plastic, or any piece of rubbish for that matter that we see lying around.

LI: To collaboratively structure and write an explanation
For writing we learnt about explanations. We learnt about T.I.I.C which is the structure of an explanation.We also had to do a collaborative explanation.Plastic pollution in and around our waterways has become a real problem. Each year the litter we drop  travels out to sea through drains, streams, lagoons and estuaries. This rubbish in our oceans harms and kills millions of sea creatures, who get caught in it or mistake it for food.
