Writing Poetry

[Rina’s Poetry Writing Learning story

The Problem:  

How do I express my ideas in a poem that communicates effectively to my audience?

My poem:  (copy and paste your poem here)

Lijacana As silly like a monkey, Friendly like a dog As fast as flash.

Success criteria: (highlight the success criteria your writing shows)

I can use-

• Line breaks-writing in shorter lines to slow the reader down
• Rhythm-makes the reader tap their foot
• Simile-comparing using ‘like’ or ‘as’
• Metaphor-saying that one thing is something else
• Personification-giving human traits to something that is not human
• Imagery-helping the reader form a picture in their mind
• Alliteration-using the same sound at the beginning of neighbouring words
• Repetition-repeating something
