We have been reading a book called Love that Dog In the book Jack tell of his literacy lessons with Miss Stretchberry. Miss Stretchberry read the class poems and Jack tries to write some. At the start he does not like it. The Book also tells the story of Jack’s dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have learnt about several different types of poem and tried to write our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The First type of poem we learnt about was imagist poems. Imagist poems try to make an image with words. We learnt about Lunes. Lunes have very few words, 11 in total, three in the first line, five in the second and three in the third. We wrote kennings, these are like riddles. We tried our hand at sound poems and shape poems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also read the Poem The Table by the Turkish poet Edip Cansever and wrote our own version.<\/p>\n\n\n
