Poetry

I am a poetic teacher

Which poetic device is my best feature?

You guessed it right, I like to rhyme

Do my thoughts string a song all day?

Yes they do, I have so much to say!

The one unit I love to teach is poetry

Highway man, discussions about love and sacrifice

Everything in life comes at a price.

We started by reviewing the poetic devices students learnt in Year 5 - simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, rhyme, rhythm, imagery, alliteration with the addition of assonance.

Clearly, students love poetic devices - they remembered almost all. The next step was to give them images from the highway man and getting them to brainstorm words. Using these words, students were expected to describe the image by including poetic devices in their description.
