Current flag vs new flag                           

Purpose:persuade the year 7&8 teachers to vote for the flag you want

L.G:Use appropriate language features to persuade the audience of your way of thinking

S.O.S:have an introduction and conclusion

• Use time connectives to join paragraphs
• Other paragraphs have an idea,elaboration,evidence

introduction:

New zealand should not keep their current flag i mean come on there is no maori on it it has no sports and it looks like australia's.

paragraph:1

Primarily the flag has no maori on it i mean come on it was designed and created by maori chiefs.the new flag has a silver fern on it representing our local sports team and a native plant that the maori chiefs/people established.

paragraph:2

Furthermore The national flag is very similar to the flag of australia and the two are often confused,for instance in 1984 the Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke was greeted by new zealand flags when visiting Ottawa,and the current new zealand prime minister john key says he has been seated under the australian flag in several international meetings the only difference’s between the australian and new zealand flag is a star under the union jack.

Paragraph:3

In addition The silver fern has always been the special symbol on the all blacks jerseys that shows who we are,kiwis. The new flag with a fern would be great showing how much we support our rugby team,netball team and more.The flag we currently have now has nothing to do with our sports teams or sports.

Conclusion:

I definitely believe you should vote for the new flag because the old one has no maori and it was created by the maori chiefs,it looks like australia's but different from a star,and it has nothing to do with sports.so please vote for the new flag.

S.O.S:Describe your senses -see,hear,smell,touch,taste

‘I shuffle down the empty street with my eyes flickering back and forth. Every opening door and every bird call caused me to jump.My hand subconsciously tightened into a tight fist and i quickened my pace,the noise of a car behind me forced me to scream and run,the blury street lights turn off and on like someone playing with the switch.Around the corner from my dull and dark house i'm eager to find out what will happen...4 houses away from my house a big black dog stares into my eyes like it's taking  my sole,i move slowly it barks i run and ‘scream’ i see my house i unlock the door quickly get inside catch my breath and go to bed.

As the rain falls from the sky my cloak gets wetter and wetter,while i stand there my nose faints  smelling the wet tar and stones on the road.The water on my umbrella falls into my mouth before it touches the ground,the rain drops start wetting my clothes underneath my cloak,

the sound of the cars going past are like planes soaring through the sky.
