On Friday, Norma and Edward visited our classroom to teach us about the Water Walk and Picking Up Our Bundles Journey. They explained how they walk and paddle to honour all Nibi (water) and speak to the water spirits so that there will be healthy rivers, lakes, and oceans for future generations to enjoy.
Grandmother and water walker, Josephine Mandamin, describes water as "amazing, it flows where it wants to, it can go through any crack, crook, or cranny. It can sing the most beautiful songs, if you listen well. She can sound like a male voice, especially during huge waves. It ebbs and flows leaving us messages in her journey throughout life. We are connected and united to life with water."
Think about water. Write a four line descriptive poem about water.

Good job! I think you got mixed up with the 3rd and 4th lines. The third line is supposed to describe action. Also, the fourth line is one adverb.
