#32 - Give it a title!
24 April 2020
Winners Announced!
Thank you to everyone who took part - it was a record breaking competition for entries!
It was very hard to chooser two winners, but we have decided...
Our first winner is entertaining_strawberry of Birchwood C of E Primary School. The thinking behind their 'A Stone World' title was very original and showed careful consideration of the different meanings of words.
Our second winner is rhetorical_recipe from Rhemaville Christian Academy. Their title 'The Crumbling Cookie' was clearly explained and they used plenty of knowledge in support of it.
Well done to both of you!
We're beginning our next Issue on Extreme Weather, and we're welcoming many students from around the world to the conversation.
So this week's competition has a worldwide theme:
Can you give this illustration a title?
Once you've written your title, give a short explanation of why you chose it.
Remember, it doesn't have to be a negative title - you can choose how you want to describe it.
e.g.
The title I would give this illustration is... because....
As we are welcoming lots of new students to the Hub, we will be awarding stars throughout this week, rather than on judging day.
The competition is open to everyone and all entries must be in by 10.30am (UK time) on Friday 24th April. Good luck!

End of the world
WORLD OF GOOD AND BAD. I selected this topic because you can see in the picture that, some parts are broken while some are not.which means the broken parts are bad and the unbroken parts are good
I think the tittle of this photograph should be "Earthquake".
Earthquake is defined as the shaking of the surface of the earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
I selected this tittle because the picture shown is about the cracks on earth.
I have noticed that the earth gets crack when there's an earth crust. The ground looks very dry and there are many cracks on it that is the reason I choose this photograph.
With no water? I don't think so.
If it is an earthquake the ground must be destroyed not cracked and the must be water around at least little water do not agree with you on that
I think the title is desertification
We pollute our land, and therefore there are no fertile and arable areas. The planet is about to lose its plant life and biodiversity.
For natural and human reasons
We resort to overgrazing and poor irrigation due to poverty and soil depletion
All are human causes of desertification and there are natural
Weather affects the land and its fertility, for example there are in the frozen lands, no plant grows, so its soil is frozen
So we must take care of our land to preserve it
And we grow as human beings
I removed a teacher's name from this comment - please could everything be from children and also with no real first names of anyone mentioned, thank you!
I like your comment because the earthquakes cause ruin and destruction
Weather life variables
I give this title because weather affects severely our life in different aspects and different ways
Can you tell me the reason why some part are broken not cracked because to me I know that when something is broken it is destroyed. For example when a cup broken it is destroyed not cracked and the ground does not look broken but rather cracked.
Not all things that are broken is spoiled,and sometimes too when something is cracked it is destroyed, example is egg.
This is drought.
Ozone layer depletion.I chose this topic because it symbolize that the ozone layer of the world has gone through damage due to various pollution such as emission of poisonous gases, as a result of that the effect of the sun ray on the earth increases and the earth surface dry up
Drought. I'm saying this because the picture shows the continents with dry lands with no water.
It can't fully be drought because in a situation of drought the whole place dries up with no vegetation at all
Thats true
If there is no water there won't be any sign of vegetation but there is
Yeah! You are so right. The picture has vegetation.
I agree with you on that
Can you explain why you agree?
I agree with him or her because a drought is a long period of dry weather when there is not enough water or there is no water for plants and animals to live or simply shortage of water and the photo looks a dry weather and the ground looks dry and has no water .
Thanks authentic theory, for agreeing with me.
This is so because during dry seasons we still have some vegetation on the dry land only that they don't look fresh as in rainy season. So during a drought some vegetation can still be seen. If there is no water around ,what can plants do to survive? Amazingly, all plants seem to have a number of gene for droughts defense strategies encoded in the DNA.Genes are small section of DNA,like chapters in a book. How the plant use the gene determiners their ability to survive the drought .This is why you can still see some vegetation on the dry land
Global warming . I'm also giving this title because the illustration depicts exactly what happens to a piece of land which has been exposed to excessive heat.
Yes it's exposed to excessive heat but what happened before the ground got cracked
It can't be the end of the world because little vegetation can be seen in the picture
Yes I agree
I agree with you, persistent_photograph, that it can not be the end of the world because there is still water and green around so the chances are not lost.
Thank you and I could initially say it is a dying world that can still be saved
I don't think so
Why don't you think so,it is clear that vegetation is seen in the picture.Please point out your reason why you think is the end of the world.
Sorry I agree with you on that.
Why the sudden change of mind,please I want you to clearly state the reason why you did not agree at first,at least there must be a reason.You may be able to prove me wrong with your reason.
I didn't understand it
Look closely that is the map of the world. In a place of total drought or dryness there can't still be vegetation because the water that those places with thick vegetation use could have been evenly distributed causing it to be sparse vegetation instead of thick vegetation at a part and other sides dry. Hope you get my point
I think ( The return of the world)will be a good title because we can see that the map of the world has drawn on a very dry and cracked soil that means that even after all these hard situations that all the world are facing
the world will return normal and safe.♥️
Why do you think so?
The wold will not end bt the end of the wold is when a person dies
WORLD INTERNAL CRACK .I support this because after the clay soil use water with no help it cracks this therefor the world experience crack after using alot of technology with no help
Earthquake World
I called it earthquakes because when there are earthquakes there is a crack left in the ground and this one looks like the earthquake world.
Earthquakes don't work on water so I don't understand
Earthquake is majorly caused by vibration, and it can occur in water ,beneath the ocean
people say it is extreme weather
Of course extreme weather condition like drought causes cracked soil
Yes there cracks left but why isn't part of the ground destroyed
The title I would give this photograph is Hope in desolation. This is because desolation is the state of being laid to waste. Due to insufficient moisture,the earth in the photo is dry and cracked and cannot be used for anything productive. The imprint of the seven continents on this dry soil implies that the continents are all at risk of becoming like the dry soil. They are all likely to be "laid to waste". Yhe state of the soil in the photo is as a result of climate change which causes extreme temperatures and evaporates the moisture in the soil. Luckily,these continents still have hope of salvaging their existence from the "sea of climate change". These continents have already been hit by climate change but they have a chance to make a comeback and defeat the scourge of climate change. They have hope in desolation.
The World breaks apart...
I. Said this because there are cracks on this map or something and it does look like a earth quake. Since it is about weather, I mean the whole world can't be broken yet. The UK has earth quakes very quietly so the its not that much broken. I think it might be about the Corona Virus because you won't be able to go to school or see your friends so it's very hard to cope and most of the time you're bored. The corona virus isn't a new disease. Last time it started in Spain and 30000 people died last time because of it. Now in England Death Tolls are becoming higher and higher. The weather isn't that bad today but other places around the world are suffering because of floods or droughts, storms and many more. We are all hoping the World will stay safe
In real life, Brazil looks more like a forest in a map but according to the photograph, the country looks more like a desert.
Can you tell us what you mean by last time it started in Spain? Are you referring to the Spanish Flu?
World over !
I choose this title because the picture shows the world cracked which makes me assume that it is because the world is going to end . Furthermore , it includes a map on top of stone . Both the map and stones are cracked so that would imply that the world will become cracked.
Nice comment
Thank you
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW . I selected this title because the world don`t care about environment.
THE BROKEN SEAL
i choose this title because the cracks on the map shows a globe that is breaking into portions without a designed shape, a world losing its original shape which could be because of; an earthquake , economic crises, health crises and psychological trauma especially now as we are affect and infected by corona pandemic.
Yes things fall apart , due to this pandemic the world is crumbling , the world economy has fallen , people are out of work , the children are not in school. No body is physically connected anymore for fear of danger of contacting the virus . this picture shows how circumstances has finally divided the world making it in ruins.
The title i would give this photograph is " Cooperation? Never heard of that ... "
Because during this whole coronavirus thing , every country only thinks about it's own safety, wich i think is extremely selfish . Because in such a hard time , we're supposed to help and support each other .
( and if you're reading this , stay safe ❤ )
which*
Damage Earth's Surface Badly
I select this title due to the current situation of the
World because the use of huge amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
cement production, heavy metals such as Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and the nickel.All
these chemical and the substances damge the earth badly and it change their chemisty
and the earth surface is react badly with human beings and animals. So we must reduce the
use of such chemicals on the earth to save earth and its surface.
The Last Straw. I chose this title because I think it will reach a point where the Earth won't be able to contain this waste and climate changes that it will literary crack in bits.
The title is: Crack Surface It is because, crack is a line on the surface of something along which it has split without breaking part. And can be cause by humans when ' Turning ' and 'Braking ' motion of vehicles. And also, can cause by the heat from the earth.
"The Earth Cookie".
This is actually a piece of cookie with the print of the earth to be distributed around the world, telling people not to waste our resources including food and water.
Breaking world
Drought. I choose drought because the sun has made the soil to crack. It meant that there is no water, animals are dying,no food and some people are dying. This means that the world is suffering from drought.
Thank you
Welcome.
If there was no water, there would have been no green part in the photograph.
Yes I agree with you because its looks like the world map being cracked
And the world needs help
Why?
The face of the world
I gave the picture this title as it incorporates the solid face of rock and the world. It also is a cliffhanger as you wouldn't know that is was crumbling.
I want water
You have a point because the land is dry with cracks meaning it lacks water
Meaning that it is drought
I selected this title because water is the source of life.
Dangers of Dessertification
desert
What about the green in the photograph
the green in the photo ghraph shows where it is not affected.
So I think it must be "A world becoming a desert"
Look closely and you see that the green part is the map of the world
Desert because it a dry land with no water
it can not be desert ask me why?
I agree with you on that because desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plants and animals to live .The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to denudation. For instance
the sahara desert there is no vegetation there.
Desert are normally sandy and don't generally holds water and as such can not crack. In the photo the nature of the soil is a little clayey and hence there are cracks
i call it a desert reasons it has so many cracks which are formed during dry seasons
A Changed World
The reason I chose this title is because, to state the obvious, in the image, it really is broken. But the main concept is because when we decide not to care for our planet, it breaks down the Earth bit by bit. Especially climate change, which is caused by us, makes the world become unprofitable and unfruitful, so we won't gain any thing good any more. And maybe it doesn't break the world in general, but the inhabitants inside it. It hurts them knowing that their many efforts are possibly, in vain.
I chose this topic because as we can see from the picture, it shows us the picture of of a dry piece of land which has the picture of the world.As we can see the land is dry and broken because,of desertification which causes erosion.This is why i decide to give it "Dangers Of Desertification Around The world
Earthquake
I choosed this because i can see the earth cracken i assume the earthquake caused it
I think you left out water. Because earthquakes don't work on water
Drought no Doubt. I chose this title because in the photo there is a picture of the map of the world on a drought so it kind os says that there will be a drought soon and nothing will stop it unless we act very fast and stop letting extreme weather come to us when we can stop it.
-Willing_Flight
My title is going to be:
'Global Inhabitance.'
I am going to choose this because in the picture, I can tell there has been a drought and the soil has dried up and become barren. The soil is covered by a map and on the map Antarctica and the Arctic haven't been placed, which suggests that there isn't anymore snow, making it extremely hot. The only places that humans would be able to live are the green parts of the map, however that would be for limited time as well, due to the fact that there will be no supplies to help them survive for very long. The generation of people that are living there probably won't know of polar bears, penguins and other Arctic and Antarctic animals as they have become extinct. In my opinion, I believe that the drought dried up or melted the polar regions, causing a lack of water for humans to depend on. The drought would've also taken plants and trees (as seen on the barren soil), meaning there would be no fruit or vegetables to eat as well. That is my opinion on the image and my title.
excited_pineapple.
the destroyed world
The shattered world
I gave it this title because of the cracks all over the world that will shatter it very soon.
The title I would give this photograph would be 'The split ends'.
The reason why I would say, 'The split ends' is because if you look closely you can see cracks but it is on those yellow and green ovals. Without the cracks on top of those ovals, the ovals would originate as one, but since there is cracks it looks like it is two or more different separate parts. If you look even more closely, you will see that the cracks or lines are on the edges of the ovals, this is how I got my title. If you do not understand then here is a summary of what I have said in this paragraph.
What I mean is that the green/yellow ovals are split apart from it's one whole, that is how I got the word 'split' from. The next word, 'ends' comes from the description of where the lines/cracks are placed. On this photo, it shows that it is on the ends or edges.
This is where my title originates from.
brilliant_fossil
OK
The title I would give this photograph is 'Collision of the earth' because, usually we have water surrounding the continents but according to the photograph there is no water surrounding the continent meaning there is a pandemic ' drought ' that is being faced making the earth to crack in relation to what is happening now we could relate the drought pandemic with corona virus and water with medical treatment the cracking shows that each continent , each country is struggling on its own to try to solve this pandemic. The collision comes about where each country has different ideas on how to solve the arising pandemic.
‘Tomorrow is another new day.’
Although everything might seem lost and broke, always remember, don’t give up ,tomorrow is another new day.
Don’t give up, you have to keep going. The stronger, braver, better you is at the end of whatever battle that your fighting in. This is only the beginning. You have to get back up. Despite the numerous times you’ve been slammed and broken down. You have to dust yourself of and ask ‘is that all you got?’. Because you are strong, even if you don’t know it. Trust it. Know it. Feel it. Believe it. And win the battle you’re fighting.
Whats happening? I have chosen this label because of lots of confusing issues and rumors that have been spread around the world. For example, Overpopulation is something that is a worry globally, and viruses, when there has been many through out centuries, however, people still are afraid and losing hope. My message to people reading this comment is that You should never loose hope.
-Involved-Grapefruit
Drought. I choose drought because lack of water and excessive heat for a long period make water stored in the ground evaporate making the ground dry and break
What about the land with fertile soil? What is their source of water
that is good keep it up
The cracks in nature
I give this title because there are lots of cracks and some are cracking the world so that is why I chose this title. Also the corona is making it so the world cracks because we have to stay lock down and when people go out for there walk they litter and don't take care of the environment.
An Earthquake
No earthquake can work on water
The title I would give to this photograph is EARTH BREAKS APART.
The reason why I chose this title is because in the photograph there are cracks on the map
What happens next?
I say this because currently our world is faced by so many plagues that one cannot help but wonder: "what happens next?"
Last hope. I chose this title because, as illustrated in the photograph,extreme weather affects our planet bit still I know there is still hope to make things right
yes that is good some people can do that
If I could give it a name it would be: THE HUMAN’S WAR WITH MOTHER NATURE IS OVER AND HUMANS WON!!!
Furthermore, I choose this name because, in a few years time the globe will be destroyed because we keep littering and and the plastic hurts the environment! Plastic hurts the environment because most of it can’t be recycled and then most people throw it in the ocean and it kills underwater sea life! And a lot of people throw rubbish out of the car window or any window and the stuff you throw into a bush or something takes a lot and a lot of time to disintegrate it isn’t like a few weeks it is about year and years!!!
By loyal_lobster❤️
This is a continue! There is a super hero called Greta Thumburg she is only a child and she is holding up a protest to help the world with all this plastic going around!!!
Is that really true?
Which comment are replying to? The first one or second one?
The super hero thing
That is true!! Because there is this girl called Greta Thumburg and she is a child and she is holding up a protest about helping the climet! And she is a nature super hero!
If Greta can try and keep the world from going dead then why can’t we? We can do little things but it makes a big help!
The title I would give this photograph is “the crumble of Earth”.
I would give it this title because the “wall” looks like that it is going to crumble as it has cracks on the”wall” and looks as if the “wall” is going to crumble down/ destroyed. I put the word Earth in it as it has a picture of Earth as a map.
A world in chaos.
Chaos is not related to water
The title I would give this photograph is 'help me before its too late!' I chose this title because it proves that the earth is in desperate need of help. I also think that the photo is trying to tell us that the world falling apart and that we need to join forces to come together again. If we did this, all the cracks would join up and the world would be as one again.
I think the title of this photograph should be "the crumbling cookie"
This is as a result of the photograph looking like a dried up and already crumbling cookie.
The Title that I would give to this picture is Rocky Earth.
The reason for my answer is because I know that the reason that we are all separated into different countries is because of the humungous earthquake which broke us up. The picture looks a bit like a mini version of what our planet had to go through hundreds of years ago. Relating to this weeks topic - Extreme Weather - I think that the reason you put this picture up is because of the big stone that fell from space to cause the earthquake. This is extreme weather. Thanks for reading,

A world of Drought. A world of environmental dryness
Before the coronavirus this was our world.
That's not true
