Note: We are still working on uploading all the video clips. The following poets are available now: Henry, Cole, Chloe, Genesis, Mekkhi, Lara, Autumn, and Tr. Meg.
Today, Third Graders shared their poems during our Poetry Slam. We heard funny and heartfelt poetry, and shared examples of poetic devices we learned during our poetry unit.
Some examples are:
- Alliteration - "Lara licks a lollipop."
- onomatopoeia - meow
- Rhyming - "You know we always try, to protect it from the dye."
- Simile - "Summer is like a hot cup of tea."
- Metaphor - "Baseball is a big white cake with a topping of fans."
- Personification - "The trees shiver in the wind."
The poetry slam highlighted all the learning we did and our growing comfort with literal and figurative use of words. We welcome you to watch the videos of the children's performances.
Some videos were recorded on a flip camera and some on an iPhone, hence the different sound levels and separate video clips.
