POETRY!!

We have started learning about poetry in Reading and Writing.  This is not an easy skill.  Below you will find some of the things that I have used to teach this genre.  I will add things to this as we learn new things!

Poetic Language:
Onomatopeia  video introduction
Alliteration
Rhyming
Simile
Figurative Language

Poet websites:
Jack Prelutsky
Shel Silverstein

Important things to remember about poetry!
1. Read the poem 3 times.
2.  Visualize the poem as you read.
3.  What is the Author's Purpose (think PIE) Persuade, Inform, Entertain
4.  What is happening in the poem?
5.  Connections to the poem, using the thinking stems
6.  What kind of poem is it?  (Narrative, Lyrical, Free verse, Humorous)
