Summarising Munro – Leo E

Posted on by

In the Munro step Read Out Loud we watched a video called TED Talk then we had to summaries the video with the key words we wrote while watching the video.

William Kamkwamba was a son of a poor farmer in a country of poor farmers. They lived in Malawi. One year their crops grew horribly so that they had one meal of maize a day at night. Because they were so poor they couldn’t go to school that meant not a lot of education. So he went to the library to learn about physics (a kind of science) he learnt English by looking at diagrams. So he learnt that you can generate electricity and get water from wind mills which harnesses the wind. So he decided to build one. Many people called him crazy including his mum. He didn’t have the materials so he went to a scrap yard. Ha used a bicycle wheel and loads of other things when he finished it loads of people came to queue up to charge their phones so did news reporters that meant TED. He had never been on a plane and he had never been out of his home in Malawi. He said on the TED stage “I tried and I made it” he wants to say to the Africans and the poor always follow your dreams no matter what

Final Munro – Summarising TED GLOBAL

Posted on by

There is this guy, he farms corn and makes money out of it. Farming went bad one year and his crops died. So he had to drop out of school because of non-profit. Because of that he had one bowl of corn mash every day at night. It was all they could afford. So one day he went to the library and read a book about physics. He couldn’t read well so he looked at the diagram of a windmill and saw that it could pump water and make electricity. So he built two windmills one for electricity and one for water. So he built them out of some stuff he found in a scrapyard. People started lining up at his house to charge their phones witch lead to bloggers witch lead to a call from ted global. And he saw a plane for the first time as well as sleeping in a hotel for the first time witch lead to talking on stage.

My last Munro 

By lachie

William kamkwamba had never been away from his home in Malawi. He had never been on a plane and never slept in a hotel. When he stood on the ted stage in 20001 he had said something like “I try and I made it”. He had made a windmill out of an old bicycle frame, old bicycle dynamo and other stuff from the scrapyard. When he made the windmill people were lineing up at his house to charge their phones he could not get rid of them the reporters came to and that’s when he got a call from ted.

This week is our last week of Munro. During the year we have been doing different steps helping us with literacy. We also do Reading groups. In reading groups we are in groups and each time we do literacy different groups go with the teacher. In the groups we do some activities like reading part of a novel and then doing an activity on the novel.

 

William is man who created a windmill for his poor country, Africa. His family were farmers and could not pay for William’s education. For a year there was a massive drought. By making a windmill he made a big difference to his whole country and life.

THE CITY – Chloe

I can feel everyone rushing about, little kids screaming for the toys that they want. I want everything in every shop. I am running, I am sweating, the sun is burning, my skin is becoming hotter by the second. I can hear birds squawking. I feel the power in the bulldozers. I smell the smoky cigarettes. Dirtied pollution air, rotten food on the floor. I can smell the perfume from Myers. Life. Wonder. Hot food in everyone’s mouth. Everyone rushing. I feel great, smelling, tasting, feeling, everything! The city is everything to me!

The Winter Rainforest – Arieta

The first thing I felt was a drop of rain down my back. The best thing in the world is the rainforest. I heard the birds chirping, wings flapping and leaves crunching. I smell the drops of rain on the leaves. The flowers as well. There was a magical door that was beautiful. I see the greenest leaves. The biggest rainbow ever. I hear the animal sounds.
