A Number Poem

We've been learning about some of the features of poetry. One of these features is alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of an initial sound, for example, Wyatt walked wildly while wearing a wig. You can use alliteration to give your poem a mood or feeling. The mood could be scary, silly, happy almost any, it just depends on what words you choose. Here is a number alliteration poem from Wyatt. What mood do you think Wyatt created?

Similes About Me

We've been learning about similes. Similes compare something to something else in order to create an image in the reader's mind, and include the words 'as…' or ' like …'. Similes are often used in poems to emphasize a point. You could write about yourself if you like you just need to brainstorm some ideas about what you are like ( fast, slow, loud, quiet, beautiful, clever, funny, silly or even crazy) and then think about think about things that remind you of that quality. Here is a simile poem written by Kaycee.
