The Vege Car

Today for reading this week, my reading Kakpo have been reading a book called the Vege Car. For our reading task we had to create a letter pretending to be James Iti writing to a friend in Palmerston North. Our second reading task was to put information in our PMI(Positive, Minus, Interesting) graph.

Task 2

Plus	Minus	Interesting
After the bad start, they were on the road driving smoothly. The Macdonalds Drove over 3000 km with the vege car not breaking down which was an achievement to be proud of. James family was proud of him for organizing  the trip, helping to build the engine for the car and for being the cameraman as well as the chief navigator. The vege car set a record of the fastest Maori vege car. Vegetable oil is 100% environmentally friendly and is recycled.	James Dad received a ticket for driving over the limit. The vege car was damaged while being transported to the South island. Driving a car that runs on petrol puts nasty gases into the air we breathe in. The nasty gases put into the air, cause health problems, like asthma, cancer and are responsible for climate change. Other people did not think the vege car was reliable.	James and his father traveled along NZ to teach people about cleaner and cheaper fuel choices for their cars. NZ is the fourth largest  car owning country after the United states, Italy and Australia. Some people say that the Vege car smells like a barbeque, but others say it smells like fish and chips. The vege car runs on vegetable oil.
