The following is a poetry response to one of the language tasks
Poetry task Peaks
From the top of them you can see the whole world They are like walls made by giants blocking out the wind They are covered in snow, as if it is a blanket keeping them warm They tower over you like the sun but keep it at bay They watch you like big eyes wherever you hide They are like rough seas breaking in to high waves They are like a ignoramus staircase leading to heaven They are mighty, strong, large, amazing things They start off as a hill, but turn into a mountain They keep countries safe, letting no waves in But their most hated enemy is water. It eats at them until they crumble down in to mounds of dirt They make the world amazing and full of discovery Without them the world would be a flat and boring place

Green Planet: Whats wrong with planet earth?
Global Warming: Is the debate heating up? Is global warming all that they promised it would be? Is it really that bad? Disagree? Tell us what you think then. Don't be a fence sitter. Have an opinion. Have your say. Email us here and state your case.
So what if they drill for oil in the Antarctic? Wouldnt that be great if they find a big heap there? Then cars would be cheaper to run and there would be a heap of jobs down at the Antarctic and they could keep workers warm by burning some of the oil as they bring it out of the ground. Disagree? Tell us what you think then. Don't be a fence sitter. Have an opinion. Have your say. Email us here and state your case.
Conservation? Isnt it natural for species to disappear? Why fight the inevitable? Why pour good money into trying to stop the forces of nature? Disagree? Tell us what you think then. Don't be a fence sitter. Have an opinion. Have your say. Email us here and state your case.
Plants are a dime a dozen arent they? Why waste money on protecting fancy weeds and flowers when people are dying on this planet from lack of food? Disagree? Tell us what you think then. Don't be a fence sitter. Have an opinion. Have your say. Email us here and state your case.
Why restrict the right of Amazonian Indians to sell their native trees destined for furniture manufacturing in Europe. There is plenty of trees in the Amazon rainforest and nobody really cares about them. Its just one of those trendy issues isnt it? Disagree? Tell us what you think then.
Seabirds and dolphins get caught in nets all of the time. It's just a part of how it is. Why stop trawlers and set netters from working and providing food and jobs when the dolphins and oversized seagulls will eventually learn to leave the nets alone? Disagree? Tell us what you think then. Don't be a fence sitter. Have an opinion. Have your say. Email us here and state your case.
