Power of one SEXXY Paragraph

In English we have been learning about apartheid and we watch the movie 'The Power of One'.
We now had to write a SEXXY paragraph about the movie. Here is what Maddy and I came up with 


Statement:The film technique was used very effectively.
Example:  Geel Piet was standing there with such fear. While Sergeant Borman was standing there with so much confidence.
eXplain: The directors purpose was to show how much power the Afrikaans had over the Black Africans.
eXplanation: It made audience have mixed emotions about it like angry and upset.

Your Link: We don’t have one.

Aotearoa

Aotearoa


Aotearoa is sung by Stan Walker, Maisey Riki, Troy Kingi and Ria hall.
I like this song because it represent our country and what its about and it has the national anthem.
I like the video clip because it shows how beautiful our country is.
The song is about our country.


Here are some song lyrics:
No matter if your near or far
We come from the land of god.
