I am a traveller, I arrived in my destination after a long flight: the Amazon. I had some information about the Amazon to read while I was flying. I came to study the monarch butterfly, along with their types of predator, plus the milkweed plant. Their orange wings are so beautiful with so many patterns, even though they are poisonous and maybe crunchy. I also studied the life cycle of monarchs which goes: egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly and then egg again, and that is the life cycle for that insect. Ms S, I forgot or don't know what the following words mean: migration, larvae and chrysalis.

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
'Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

For extra credit, give a description of its meaning.

Good work - now, all big kids have to do the poem - learn some of it off by heart and also write about it.
