Writing A Couplet

Today I’ve been learning about how to rhyme parts of a poem & a couplet with two lines.

First we got an example from Miss Tele’a and she pick a random word and pick four other words to ryhme with it.

Next Me and Hasna my friend were thinking so hard but our brains would’t work so we wrote something in our books that make sense with it.

Finally we got it and we wrote it in our poem and we showed Miss Swires but we help us a little bit and she was fixing up our mistakes.

I enjoyed doing the ryhming words.

I need to improve my mistakes by getting writing words wrong.

Figurative Language

This week we have been learning about figurative Language in poetry. Figurative Language is the use of non-literal phrases or words to create further meaning in writing or speech.

First we had to think about in a group what figurative language, a simile, a metaphor, a hyperbole, and an idiom is. A Simile is to figure a speech involving one thing. A metaphor is a thing regarded as something else. A hyperbole is a state or claims that are not meant to be taken literally. For example : I can eat a horse. And an idiom is a group of words by using individual words.

Next we had to write down 3 sentences using metaphors. Metaphors are non – literal. For example : Life is a highway. Her eyes were diamonds. He is a shining star.

Then we had to write down 3 similes we could use to describe this red character. The name of the movie is called turning red. For the 3 similes I wrote down. He was a red panda. She’s so fluffy like a cat and she has magic.

Afterwards, I had to choose a character to write down 3 sentences about using similes or metaphors. I picked Matilda because I think it will be awesome and fun to write about.

Lastly I had to write 4 sentences using both similes and metaphors to describe what it would feel like on a rollercoaster.

I enjoyed doing this task for writing. I did well at describing the red panda. I need to improve on writing down more similes and metaphors.
