7y2: Poetry Module - Lesson One and Two - 'The Jabberwocky' and 'Through the Looking Glass' by Lewis Carroll

Homework instructions:


Type up the draft version of the character conversation you did in class into a complete, neat version. Does it use the terms: [adjective], [adverb], [noun], [verb] and [portmanteau/portmanteaux]? Make sure it does! Add extra details to make it into a more detailed story. About a page of type, so long as all the terms are used.

Small example from class:


------------
“The word ‘blaly’ is a portmanteau of two adjectives. It’s a cross between ‘black’ and ‘scaly’, you see”, said the old man after looking it up in his dictionary.
“I see”, said the hero, “but what about ‘scathick’? Is it a noun?”
“Why, it means ‘scaly’ and ‘thick’!” said the old man. “It’s another adjective; everyone knows that!”.


---------------

Remember:

One portmanteau

Two portmanteaux

Remember:

"quotation marks(/speech marks)” for when people are talking and ‘word markers’ inside speech

POST YOUR COMPLETE VERSION (WITH YOUR NAME!) AS A COMMENT ON THIS POST (OR TO MY WORK-POSTBOX) DUE FRIDAY 14th.
