Monday Sept 24

So ... we started the Poetry Unit today.

We read this poem, this poem, and this poem.

By the end of the class, we read a bunch of poems and learned about:

Rhyme Scheme - the pattern of syllables at the end of the line
Image - something a writer uses to write about in a poem

We also learned how to read a poem when we read Rock Tea by Gary Gildner.

Finally, we got some homework on this awesome poem by Ogden Nash:

The Termite

Some Primal Termite knocked on wood
and tasted it and found it good

And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today
