Writing Poetry

Abigail’s Poetry Writing Learning story

The Problem:  

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

My poem:  

Breeze Breeze is fast as a cheetah , She Is funny like a monkey She is quiet like a cat.

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

I am going to achieve my next steps by ….. because….. I used the key competency of ________ as learning power because….. I needed to use the key competency of _______ as learning power because.... ________ thinks I am good at ….. because…..

I am getting better at doing line breaks

I was good at simile because I used as in my poetry when I wrote she is quiet like a cat.

I feel good when i imagery pictures because it  helps you get images in your head like when I said monkey in my poem.
