Hello Y10

Today we looked at Poetry. We considered how the poet used language to convey meaning and ideas.

We looked at The Night of the Scorpion and did a piece of drama to go with it. The idea for this is that you understand how the poet conveys a sense of place and culture. For a special prize say 'weblog' to me at the beginning of the lesson!

You need to learn ten poetic devices for Thursday. The three you need to find out the meaning for yourself are Caesura, Sibilance and Synecdoche. You then need to know seven other (or more if you know the meaning of any of these three). Dictionary is here! It will help cement your understanding if you look for examples of the devices.

We also need to consider how we can work together as a team more effectively. How do you think you can impact upon this?

See you Thursday

Ms :)
