Exploring Language Features through Poetry

We have been learning about various language features we can use in our writing to create a more interesting piece for our readers. What better way to explore this concept through writing poetry!


Last week we explored similes and metaphors and used our senses to create a Winter poem. They were just beautiful! We also made some art to go with out published piece.

 
 

This week we have been creative with alliteration and onomatopoeia to write a Sound poem!
To create our poem we got into groups of 8. Each group broke into 2 smaller groups and came up with 4 lines each around our 'topic'. Then we came together to collaborate on our final piece of poetry. We used teamwork, fairness and perspective to 're-shape' and combine our sound poems, incorporating everyone's ideas.

We are so pleased with the final results! Here are some of them below.
