Activity 3: Let It Rain [10 points]
Over the past few decades, we have seen an increase in the amount of rain that falls here in New Zealand. We are lucky, however, that most of the rain that falls is regular rainwater and not polluted acid rain. Acid rain is rain that has bad chemicals (pollutants) in it. When acid rain hits the ground it can enter the water system, killing plants and animals. Click here to learn more about acid rain.
Let’s imagine that New Zealand was hit by a massive acid rain storm. Acidic rain fell for three days and three nights. When the rain fell, you stayed inside with your friends and family. When it stopped, however, you and your family decided to go for a walk outside. You opened the door and...
On your blog, write a short story about what happened when you opened the door and walked outside after the acid rain storm. To earn full points, you must write a story that is 8 – 10 sentences long.
--------------------------------
On one hot summer day my family and I started to notice that the sky started to get gloomy and the streets were dead silent. We checked the news and noticed that there was a huge acid rain storm heading our way , we stayed claim and packed everything we thought off and headed to our basement. Since this day we have been hiding out in our basement for quite a bit , just being wise with our emergency supplies. Today as we were watching the news , they advised us that the acid rain storm has past by and went to the pacific ocean! We wanted to go outside to get some fresh air and experience the outside again. But as we suddenly opened our front door we noticed that all the trees , animals , poles were knocked down. As I took a peck out of a large window I saw water washing down the street , “ ClOSE THE DOOR! “ I screamed. My dad shut the door locked it up and we ran to the basement packed everything and got ready. This is the most scariest thing ever! We wanted a WHOLE week to go by for another update. Once that update went on it was hard to keep on that one channel because everyone was on it , but luckily we didn’t get cut out. They advised us that we had to wait another three weeks for the air to be normal again. So now we are waiting for another three weeks! Goodbye and hopefully you would hear from me next time.

Hi Leilani!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so sad to read this story... I think it would be horrible to experience this!
I feel as though you have created an amazingly entertaining story though Leilani - Well done :)
I can't believe you had to hide out in the basement, sounds like world war three! Very scary...
I like the way you have described this scenario, it is very action packed and had me sitting on the edge of my seat!
How do you think you would feel walking through the area after the rain?
I can only imagine seeing areas that are so familiar to you looking one way being completely changed!
Did you use anything for inspiration for this story?
After reading this I hope that acid rain never hits New Zealand!!
Ka pai Leilani!
Nga mihi,
Ellee :)
