7y2: Poetry Module - Lessons Five & Six - Form and Haiku


Play the game 'Haiku Hero' (click the picture or the link).

Write the best haiku you make in the 'comments' section at the bottom of this post with your name. To do this you need to select 'name and url' from the options; type your name and click 'post'; then enter the key word. If you can't do this, write them in word and send to my work postbox.

Also:

For this haiku explain:

1) Some facts you've learnt about haiku;
2) Why you chose the words you did - "I chose the word ___ because______" - as much detail as possible;

3) If you had to change any words to fit the pattern.

Finally, as an extra challenge (for vivos!):

Write a haiku or any other type of poem about yourself - this will go in your file.

Post all homework in the comments section or submit on paper by Tuesday 25th January.

Also, here is a copy of The Wendigo by Ogden Nash if anyone want to read it again!

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.
