Poetry Party Preparation

Camille and Breann - A big thank you (You know why!)...
Well done on your narrative poems today. There were some passionate performances:

These are the poems that should appear in your poetry booklet.
  • Kennings
  • Everyday Object
  • Noun Poem
  • Extended Metaphor
  • Memorized Published Poem
  • Inside/Outside
  • I wonder
  • Song Interpreatation
  • Slam
  • Narrative Performance Poem
  • Free Choice
You may also add other poems if you choose. By Tuesday, your poetry booklet should be completed and attractively decorated. Choose any two poems that you want to perform from the list above and be prepared to do short auditions on Monday.  The more you put into  your poems the more enjoyable the poetry party will be. What will you do to make your poems the BEST you have ever recited? - Amaze me!!!


Great game for fractions practice!!!

Sabine you are funny, helpful, kind and smart

Maddy Z said...

Can we recite our narrative poem?

Camille B. said...

Maddy he said any poem.

Maddy Z said...

Is the poem below good so far? It's my free choice poem that I was thinking of doing!


Listen for it
And it will find you
Ready

Beg for it
And it will creep past you
Unexpected

Seek for it
And you will only occasionally get a clue
Small but precise

Like that new day signalling beginning
Like that ring indicating promise
Like that leaf hinting thanks
Like that firework meaning celebrate

Life means going through good and bad
It means reaching for the best in each and every day
It means you are here for something
Whether it’s big or small
It’s precise
And is there so your life can be lived

Maya S. said...

Happy Birthday Sabine! You fun, positive and really nice to be around!

Great poem Maddy. I really liked how you hid the subject until the end. You should recite it!

Sabine, you are special because...
-You're very creative (noun song, ideas, etc.)

I would really appreciate having multiple ideas to work with!

Han said...

Maddy Z said...

Thanks Han!
Anyone else have an opinion?

Maddy Z said...

Please?

Han said...

Welcome

Han said...

Hmmmm if this helps maybe you could also add those metaphors into each end of the stanza

Han said...

Sorry not metaphor simile

Maddy Z said...

Mr. Buxton,
On Monday when we do our 'auditions' can we use the teleprompter?

berrysweetπ said...

Maddy- I think so because he hasn't told us that we have to memorize it yet. But just in case, say memorize it anyway. Maya and I did, and in the end, it benefited us.

berrysweetπ said...

Can someone please give me an idea for my poem? I am blank!

Han said...

Anisha I can't GIVE you an idea but I can give you a tip...



look around you what do you see hint hint

Maya S. said...
