Year 3 and Year 4 Poetry

This is my poem about the Bald Eagle.

We started this process by having a single picture of a bald eagle. We started doing a plan that has four columns- things I can see, things I can’t see, descriptive words and potential rhymes, all based on this picture.

Next, we started to write our poem based on the plan we just did. Since we were learning about rhyming couplets, every two lines need to rhyme, such as having fierce and pierce in the end of two lines in a row. We also had to have the same syllable count, and make the sentences flow. I decided to write an eight syllable poem- which means each line has eight syllables. We had to manually check and edit our poem until everything is perfect. We also had to come up with an interesting title that grabs the reader’s attention. We can use strategies like: Alliteration and play on words.

To publish, we used a range of technology skills, including paint.net, where we created a blurred layer, so we could see the writing over it. Then, we copied it onto a Word document and used an app called Cool Text to design a font for our title. We wrote our poem in the blurred area provided, which means we had to manage our font size to make it fit well. After we finished writing our poem on the Word document

the process was complete.
