Week 10 Development

Final Story
 
Refine

I have finalized the story line for the book and now need to finish the spreads to go along with each paragraph:

Among the trees,

in a far away land.

Live the Kakariki,

happy and grand.

Playing in the leaves,
having lots of fun.

Kevin the Kakariki,
lays in the sun.

Living close by,
are Kevin’s best friends.
Together they fly,
Kevin, Kim and Ken.

(Ice Breaker)
(Mask Making)

Over the trees,

They fly high and low.

“What’s that in the leaves?” asks Kim,

“Oh no!”

On the ground,
they spot some cats.
Their fur is brown
and their bodies fat.

Hunting Kakariki,
are what cats do best.
The birds scramble and flee,
straight back to their nests.

The friends fly quickly,
back to their trees.
To warn their families,
about the cats in the leaves.

The Kakariki families
don’t have much time.

“The cats are coming”, yells Ken,

as they start to climb.

“Find everyone!” yells Kevin,
“We need to get going!”
“I know a safe place,
where no cats are roaming”

(Catching Game)

The Kakariki prepare,
to cross the open sea.
Taking with them in the air,
some berries and seeds.

They fly off into the sky,
away from the pests.
Together soaring high,
to find new nests.

(Sea Crossing)

After flying for hours,

they spot some land.

With trees, food and flowers,

as they reach the sand.

“This place is so nice!”,

says Ken, “Oh wow!”

The Kakariki are in paradise.
“The cats can’t find us now!”

(Tree Puzzle)

The Kakariki are safe,
and their new home is the best.
Now they look for a place,
to build their nests. 

Kevin meets Kate,

a pretty Kakariki.
Together they mate,

to start a new family.

(Nest game)

Now the Kakariki,

live wild and happy.
After crossing the sea,
the birds are safe and free.
