IN THE CLASSROOM

Years 3-6 Classroom - Poetry Writing

Students have spent the last few weeks delving into their inner-lyricist, exploring all things Poetry. They have been learning about different poetic techniques, devices and styles of poems. 

 

They have produced their own Poetry Portfolio, which includes the following poetry styles;

  • Haiku: 3 lines with a 5-7-5 syllable structure.
  • Colour Poem: Focuses on one colour using the five senses
  • Limerick: 5 lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme
  • Diamante: A 7-line diamond-shaped poem
  • Cinquain: A 5-line unrhymed poem with a specific word-count pattern.
  • Ode: A tribute poem praising a specific person, object, or idea
