Alison&Paige - SEE Writing

Element 1- Picking Up Rubbish

People need to start picking up rubbish when they see any on the ground or anywhere else. Why we need to pick up rubbish is because we need to keep our sea animals safe and the environment clean. For example, when you are at the beach and you are having lunch, your rubbish might drop on the ground and it will fly away and go into the sea, then the sea animals will die just because of our rubbish.

Element 2- chuck it in the right bin

The reason why we must chuck it in the right bin is for those who collect our rubbish can know which  is the right order.  Our Environment helps us breathe including our trees because we live in a world of nature and life.  My example to you all is to put your rubbish in the right bin at all times to keep our environment clean and safe. 

Element 3- Don’t just do it at school (home, streets)

When picking up rubbish, you don’t just do it at school, you also do it around your house or on the streets. Like when you see rubbish anywhere like school, home, or the street you just pick it up and put it in the bin. For example, when people walk past and don’t pick up the rubbish that they see every time then rubbish will go everywhere and make a big mess around the world.

Element 4- teach others

We teach others so they could have a brighter future and explore the wonders of this world. We teach those who have the capability of showing us how they could listen and respect us then we will do what we can to help you learn. My example is that you do your best to try and keep up with your class and learn as much as you can so you can know what to do when you move up a level.

Task Description: This writing task is about rubbish and we used the SEE writing format to write it. Each paragraph explains each element and we have used a statement, explanation, and a example. Each paragraph has 3 colours on the sentences, and so the blue sentence is about the statement, the green is about the explanation, and the pink is for the example. Hope you enjoy reading our SEE Writing paragraphs and may you have a good day.

Bye bye

Number 28.

It was 12:00 o’clock at night and I was tired, I picked up my phone and suddenly I got a text. The text was from my friend Nevayah, it said Paigey hurry you better run and tell your parents there's a huge robot outside, sorry gotta go Byeeee. When I finished reading the text I just put it down and started running to my parents room telling them the text I got. But they wouldn't believe me so I told them to look outside and the big their was a big robot tearing down the city, so they looked at each other and got me and we all ran to the car not even thinking to look back at the window.

We went to Nevayah house first because we wanted them to be safe too and their car broke down so we speed there. When we got their me and Nevayah looked at the robot and it had a number 28 on it so decided to call ‘The 28’, but we didn't even know what we were doing naming the robot. So then suddenly we looked at the direction it was going and it heading to the sky tower.

Wondering why it was going there so we told my mum and dad to stop the car this instinct and we both ran out of the car not even telling our parents what was going on. Our parents was chasing after us but we already knew what the robot what trying to do, as we ran together as fast as we could lose our parents at the back of us. As we  both look at each other while running we both said at the same time what are we doing with a panicked voice. We were so close to the robot it looked like he was taller than the sky tower, then suddenly we zoomed in between his legs and headed straight to the sky city door. But then we heard a loud bang and then . . . . To be continued.
