Writing Poetry

Luchiano’s Poetry Writing Learning story

The Problem:  

How do I express my ideas in a poem that communicates effectively to my audience?

My poem:  (copy and paste your poem here)

Rina Clever like a scientist. She is smarter than a chromebook. Kind as a cat

Success criteria: (highlight the success criteria your writing shows)

I can use-

• Line breaks-writing in shorter lines to slow the reader down
• Rhythm-makes the reader tap their foot
• Simile-comparing using ‘like’ or ‘as’
• Metaphor-saying that one thing is something else
• Personification-giving human traits to something that is not human
• Imagery-helping the reader form a picture in their mind
• Alliteration-using the same sound at the beginning of neighbouring words
• Repetition-repeating something

My Learning:  (Choose 3 to write about)

I was good at similes because I said Rina was clever as a scientist. It is hard to make good images in my readers minds because it is hard to phrase it. My next steps are using repetition to make my poems better.
