Oral Language


A Tongue-twisters In pairs, create a list of rhyming or alliterative (beginning consonants sounding the same) words. Arrange them together to create a silly tongue-twister. Write your tongue-twister down and challenge other pairs to say it as fast as they can without tripping over their words. Examples:


ƒ How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? ƒ She sells seashells by the seashore.


Writing Genre – Poetry Writing


A poem is a fictional text written to entertain the reader. Poetry manipulates and arranges words to create unique perspectives on the world. The poet combines words and imagery in order to share personal thoughts and feelings about a subject.


Haiku


A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem that often doesn’t rhyme or have a title. It captures a moment of beauty, an element of nature or an important experience. The first two lines are related and the third line reveals something surprising, while still being connected to the first two. Emotion is portrayed by describing the event that caused emotion without describing the emotion itself. Below are the rules for writing a haiku, along with an example.


1st line: five syllables 2nd line: seven syllables 3rd line: five syllables


A short walk to home Leaves sway gently in the breeze Home alone again


A Write some haikus of your own.


ƒ Try to write from experience. ƒ Include some mention of nature or the season if possible. ƒ Use descriptions related to the senses. ƒ Evoke an emotion by describing what caused the emotion.


B Drama: Set the scene


Tableau: In groups, create the scene from ‘The Potato Eaters’. Use props if possible. Think carefully about your character: how they look, what they are doing, how they are feeling and what they are thinking. Show your scene to the class in a carousel (every group is ready at the same time in different areas of the room and the teacher asks the groups to show their tableau, one at a time).


Thought tracking: The teacher can walk through each group, tapping pupils on the shoulder and inviting them to share their character’s thoughts.
