In the 3/4 Community the students have been exploring poetry by investigating the language in the book "Why I Love Australia" by Bronwyn Bancroft, the poem "My Country" by Dorothea Mackellar and photos of the Australian landscape. The purpose of poetry is to tell a story, create an emotion or describe something by using rich, descriptive language. Poems may rhyme or be a free form style without rhyming. The students chose a photo of an Australian landscape and after conferencing with a teacher, published their poem.
