I am water

We were learning about a poem called I am water. The poem was about how water travels from the mountains to rivers and the sea.

I found it easy to find all the nouns and make the design. I tried doing maori patterns for my border.

I found it hard to understand some of the words in the poem. So then I made a copy of the Glossary and researched the definition of the words I didn't know.

I really enjoyed working on and doing the design.

Next time I need to find all the language features.

 

Clickety-Clack Cicada

 

We have been learning about language features during Literacy. The way we have been doing this is by reading and understanding poems. 

Some of the features I identified in the poems are metaphors, verbs, onomatopoeia, and adjectives. 

This week we read Clickety-Clack Cicada by Jill Brasell. 

I found it easy to identify some of the language features such as metaphors.

I found it hard to locate the nouns because it is an area I think I need to work on more.

I really enjoyed learning about metaphors because they make the story more interesting and help to create an image in our mind about what the author is trying to tell us.

Next time I need to work on discussing the poem more and sharing my ideas.
