The poem describes the experience of being unable to sleep due to a \"terrible rotating blade\" sound, while a roommate sleeps soundly. Following the poem are several \"Check Your Understanding\" questions designed to engage readers and gauge their comprehension of the poem's themes, emotions, and potential deeper meanings, encouraging personal reflection and creative responses. The \"Secretary's Message\" at the end provides context about the School Journal, its intended audience (Grades 6-8), its purpose as supplementary reading material, and acknowledges the support from the New Zealand Government through the New Zealand — Papua New Guinea School Journals Project. It encourages teachers to read stories from the journal daily to familiarize children with the content and foster a love for reading, highlighting the contributions of local writers and illustrators.","Poem-The Terrible Rotating Blade  \nSchool Journal Senior 1, 2009-V1 .1  \nEnglish  \nI lie awake as my room—mate sleeps on.  \nI close my eyes and try to do the same.  \nBut the terrible rotating blades turn, keeping sleepiness from me.  \nI lie awake watching the terrible rotating blades turn,  \nAnd my room-mate sleeps on.  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n1) What is keeping the girl awake in the poem?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n2) What word would you use to describe how the girl is feeling?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n3) Do you think it is really the‘rotating blade’ keeping her awake, or something else?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n4) What do you do when you cannot sleep?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n5) How do you think she feels towards her roommate at this moment in time?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n6) Do you like this poem? Why?  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n7) Write a poem about a noise which can keep you awake at night.  \nSecretary's Message  \nThe Papua New Guinea School Journal (Senior) is a collection of writing suitable forchildren in Grades 6-8.
