Mrs. Peeters' class has been working on writing a poetry book. We have been practicing and creating different types of poems. One of our favorite types of poems is an Exaggeration Poem. We have had different assignments, including creating a poetry book. We have been learning a poet's tool box of figurative language such as similes, metaphors, hyperbole, personification, and idioms.
For our poetry slam we are memorizing poems we either wrote, found online or got from a book to recite for our peers. We will be graded on what words we emphasized, the expression in our voice and the rate we are speaking. We've been working very hard by studying our poems and working on our fluency.
One of the things we enjoyed in this unit was we get to write poems that are fun and silly and we got to write about whatever we wanted to. We also liked not having to write in complete sentences. We also got to draw pictures to go along with our poems.
