The film Treaty Of Waitangi: What really happened

The film Directed by Peter Burger 'The Treaty Of Waitangi: What really happened" is about the signing of one of our founding documents. It is a dramatic film that shows events/days leading up to as well as the treaty soon to be formed. The audience knows this because the events filmed are based off history. For example the chiefs were arguing for the treaty to be eventually signed. 

WTE - English

The simple sentence: 

Simple sentences begin with the subject of the sentence (e.g he,she,it, they , i, someones name, place)

Example: Hornby High school was founded in 1975 

The very short sentence: 

The very short sentence is one of the most powerful sentence styles ever made. It immediately grabs your attention. 

Example: Life is short  

The power sentence: 

If you waffle, a bit, try the power sentence. Beginning your paragraph with a power sentence of 12 words of fewer. Get straight to the point 

Example: The day was rainy and damp unlike yesterday 

The red, white and blue:

Use the red, white and blue sentence style when you have several ideas to convey a topic

Example: Johanna has black hair, glasses and a scarf

The adverb start:

Start a sentence with an adverb, as it adds interest and intrigue. Remember the rule: when you start your sentence with an adverb, place a comma after the adverb then write the rest of the sentence.

Example: Finally, this period is almost over 

Begin with a preposition:

Try starting your sentence with a preposition. Prepositions are little words indicating movement or position. 

Example: In New Zealand there are many sheep's  

The -ING start:

Try starting a sentence with the -ing form of a verb. The rule: when you have finished your -ing phrase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence.

Example: Analysing the information given to me 

The -ED start:

Try starting a sentence with the —ed form of the verb. It makes for a punchy opening to the sentence.

Example: leashed, the sheep sat quietly on the hills

The semi-colon:

When you have two independent clauses (two mini-sentences) joined by a conjunction (e.g. and, but), you can remove the conjunction and replace it with a semi-colon.

Example: Reige likes maths; Johanna does not.

The Em-dash:

The em-dash in English is the long dash. Use the long dash to drop a phrase in a sentence that is at complete odds with the flow of the sentence—way out there—but which adds colour and interest.

Example: Lasagne—a delicious meal—originated in Italy.

The W-start sentence :

Try beginning a sentence with a W-word. Here are some: who, while, when, where, 

what, whereas. The W-start makes writing sound thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Example: With this information; I can further understand the issue.

Explore the subject:

Accomplished writers use this sentence style. The rule: begin your sentence with the subject then place a comma. Say something interesting about the subject. Place another comma. Then, finish your sentence.

Example: The treaty of Waitangi, an agreement between the British Settlers and the Māori people, was aimed to to protect the indigenous rights of New Zealand.
