We were admitting our wrongs and turning it into a poem. We used the same format from William Williams but using our wrongs from yesterday or 8 years ago. We had to extend our vocabulary to hook the reader to keep them reading. We had to add a background that relates to our writing.

The outstanding ANZAC button
Back in the day the button showed pride and it was carefully sewn onto the khaki jacket. It had dodged plenty of bullets on the battlefield. After the war he shoved his jacket in the back of his wardrobe. Every year he would rub the grime off his jacket and go to the ANZAC parade, then it was back in the old rusty wardrobe for another year.
Plenty years later, when his great-grand daughter Ella had pulled out some photos and found him wearing his khaki in one of them. She went back in the box and she looked and found a less cheerful and older great-grand father on the back it said "at the Somme 1916".
Her mum said"that button had saved his life" she had pointed at the old ,rusty, dented button. Ella said"if this button wan't there I wouldn't be here"and nor would I"said mother. She snipped the buttons of his khaki jacket and found a soft cloth and polish. Then carefully she sewed the buttons on a red ribbon and put the special button in the middle and then off to the dawn parade.
ANZAC day is celebrated on the 25th of April every year, It was when the ANZAC's landed in Gallipoli, and to remember the people who served for our country.
