Information report - Pompeii

We are learning how to write an information report using information we gather through research
One of my personal writing goals is:
To remember my grammar and use capital letters and full stops when they are needed because I have been forgetting to use them.
Evidence I am developing this in my writing:

Introduction
The pompeii mt vesuvious eruption that happened on the 24th of August 1944 cleared most of the population. It is still eligible to erupt and explode/destroy everything and anything at anytime.
After the explosion
After the eruption of mt vesuvius the pompeians had turned to stone including animals and houses. This only happened because when the larva covered their body. It made a stone statue of what the person or animal was doing at the exact same moment. When the eruption happened tons tourists try to go to the scene of the eruption but it was still bad to touch due to the fact of gases in the air and chemicals all over the pompeii city.
Mt vesuvius now 
Mt vesuvius is still able to erupt at anytime but its most likely not going to erupt. Volcano researchers have noticed a big size difference before the eruption and after it. Thousands of citizens from pompeii had to move because the thought of another eruption just ruined their life style and life. Many say that mt vesuvious
Will erupt again but others say not. You only find out when it happens.
When/Time it happened
There were actually two eruptions from mt vesuvius one in 79 AD and the smaller one in 1944. This report is about the smaller one since it was earliest and had the most information on the internet. 1944’s eruption killed almost 12,000 citizens and about 10,000 survived. Animals such as horses, donkeys, mules were all turned into stone during the eruption.
Conclusion 

If you ever go to pompeii make sure not to ruin the beautiful natural designs. It is very ancient and there possibly will be bad consequences if you wreck or touch the history of pompeii.

Traditional gathering and harvesting of kai



When the Maori people walked over New Zealand the easiest food for them to harvest was plants and fish. Maoris would spear the eels and ika to kill them so they can cook it over a fireplace.
How maori would cook it was either by roasting it in the ground or using a stove. Hangi and boil up is a very good enjoyable meal. they also cook hangi in the ground. The moa got extinct because all of the maori people would always hunt it down for food and for their starving family.
It wast rare to spot native New Zealanders eating sea food like Krayfish, muscle, Kina eels, white bait and much more. getting food from the ground was hard work for them because they would waste all of their energy on planting and harvesting foods like Kumara, kale etc.
