Hello everyone

Heading Mr. Dunne Poetry 3 1st October

So far... Let’s hear some of them before we begin. We have done a rhyming list poem – Ten .......... We have done an acrostic poem – hidden message in first letter. Let’s hear some of them before we begin.

Today We are going to do a list poem

Today We’re going to go over two examples of non-rhyming list poetry. You’re going to try. We’re going to go over a rhyming list poem. I’m going to give you a method of finding rhymes.

A non-rhyming list poem To begin with, A non-rhyming list poem

What Bugs Me When my teacher tells me to write a poem. When my mother tells me to clean up my room. When my sister practices her violin while I'm watching TV. When my father tells me to turn off the TV and do my homework. When my brother picks a fight with me and I have to go to bed early. When my teacher asks me to get up in front of the class and read the poem I wrote on the school bus.

Did you notice? The poet named several people – family members. The poet named several activities – writing, cleaning, watching, doing, going and reading.

A noun A verb He or she used: A person, place or thing. An action word.

What not to do. Ellen made a pyramid out of gum. Cian “accidentally” dropped a heavy book on the ground. Colin thought about being a movie star all day. Katryna stared at the person sitting across from her. Jack made funny faces. Kelly drew faces on a copy.

Your turn

The subject, group or nouns Think of five people. They don’t have to have names. Maybe you want to call them by their title or job – family members, subject teachers, football players or teams. Maybe you want to name celebrities or characters from books, movies or songs. 5 people (who are linked) The name of this group is your title.

The actions, activities or verbs. Think of five verbs, five actions. Each action will be used by one of the people you just picked. 5 verbs What are they doing?

Now create you list poem Title Noun and verb

Next, A rhyming list poem

The Great Outdoors A bumble bee with a stinger A deer with a rack A bird that's a singer A horse with a knack A dog with its collar A cat that meows A rooster's loud holler A farm with some cows

Think of a word – “word” Help with rhyming Remove the first letter – “ord” Add in letters until something familiar comes up. Sound it out. Aord, bord... Bird

Examples Money – oney – abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Bunny Funny Honey Runny Sunny

8 nouns The subject, group or nouns Choose a subject – Eight nouns for your list. Consider people, places, things, animals, any eight things you can group together. Consider footballers or teams, music artists or television characters. 8 nouns That subject is your title.

This time however “with a......” or “that.......”

A bumble bee with a stinger A deer with a rack A bird that's a singer The Great Outdoors A bumble bee with a stinger A deer with a rack A bird that's a singer A horse with a knack

Now Think of a word that goes with your first and second noun and write it down. Then try to find something that rhymes with it. If its an object – “A (noun) with an x” If its a job - “A (noun) that is (that’s) an x”. That has, wants, likes.
