Poetry
This month we are focused on learning about various types of poetry and how it is organized. We are also learning to use tone of voice, movements, facial expressions to make our poetry interesting to the listeners. (BC Curriculum, Grade 3 Language Arts.
April is Poetry month. We will be focusing on learning to write poetry and memorizing a poem. Please post a short video of yourself reciting your poem (dramatic reading or from memory) by April 30th. On May 1st we will be reciting our poetry to one another in our Friday morning Zoom call. Here are some poems you may choose from. Click on the button with the poetry titles to navigate to the poetry site and read that poem. Choose one of the four poems below to memorize and recite OR read dramatically. I have given you a video of each poem to help you with memorizing.
Steps for memorizing
1. Read your poem out loud 5 times. Always start with the title and author's name.
2. Think about what each phrase means.
3. Look up words in the dictionary that you do not understand. This will help you understand the poem.
4. Read out loud every day, at least 5 times. Remember start with title and author's name.
5. Challenge yourself to close your eyes and say the first verse without looking. Do that with each verse until you can say the whole poem.
