Literacy Homework

Literacy Homework - Friday 17th January 2014


 This week in Literacy we have been writing and editing our own Extreme Environment shape poems. Our class have written a range of shape poems about icebergs, snowflakes, polar bears and penguins. Here is an example we came up with. What features can you spot? 


                                     A
                        giant
                         icy iceberg is
                as delicate as icicles.
         Slippery pieces sliding down
              the iceberg and cracking
                  open under the grey,
                              dirty
                            water.

    Penguins are yellow, black and white
    they are slow and look smooth
    they have flat arms and straight legs
    and they are weak.

    In the shape poems, the features that I spotted were:

    Amazing Adjectives- slippery, icy, delicate, giant, grey, dirty.
    Similes- as, like.
    Powerful verbs- cracking, sliding.
    Alliteration- icy iceberg.
    Shape- It is in the shape of the thing it is talking about.
