READING POEMS FOR FUN

Click on this website to enjoy poetry. POEMS FOR FUN  This is what poems look like.  Make sure that you know how to write a poem instead of a paragraph.

POEM:

Mary had a little lamb

It’s fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go.   🙂

 

PARAGRAPH:

Mary lived on a farm.  Her father was a sheep farmer.  Mary had a pet lamb each year that she looked after. Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

 

Looking forward to reading your great poems about your own houses.

CASTLE ACROSTIC POEMS

You have done a fabulous job writing your CASTLE acrostic poems!  You had to use adjectives, alliteration and for above expected, at least one simile (comparison using like… or as…as ).  Enjoy reading them and sharing them with your parents in this flipbook.  Write a comment below to compliment someone for something special you liked in his or her poem.  🙂 Mrs Veary

WRITING USING DESCRIBING WORDS

Today we are going to be using describing words in our writing.  Watch this YouTube clip of Animalia by Graeme Base to get some ideas of ALLITERATION (when the words start with the same sound… and roll off your tongue smoothly!).  

We will be describing a CASTLE in an ACROSTIC POEM.  Try to use as many good adjectives as you can and a SIMILE.  (comparing it to something else – EXAMPLE – …like a …. OR as ….as)

🙂

 

POETRY IS FUN

You have all the words you need.

 

 

Mary had a little lamb

its fleece was white as snow

and everywhere that Mary went

the lamb was sure to go!

You all know lots of nursery rhymes off by heart.  These are simple poems.  Over the next couple of weeks we will be reading lots of different kinds of poems and finding out which poems each of us enjoy most.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

  • READ POEMS: You will need to read at least 5 different poems and choose 3 verses that you really like.  You might like the way the words roll off your tongue when you read them dramatically (like a famous actor/actress); you might like the pictures that the words paint in your head; or the poem might make you feel something when you read it (either sad, thoughtful or happy.)  It might make you laugh out loud if it’s a silly poem or just plain ridiculous.

  • WRITE DOWN YOUR FAVOURITE PARTS: Write down at least 3 different verses (from 3 different poems) in your My Favourite Poems Book

  • DRAW THE POETRY PICTURE: Draw what you think that verse would look like if you were the illustrator
