The Lounge Lizard
The lush green grass surrounds the forest floor.
The wind whistles through the trees around him.
The leaves rustle and crack as loud as a tree falling.
The lizard's scales look like separate ripples in a green pond.
He heard the birds chirping wildly.
His eyes are like fire.
His scales are as green as the watered grass.
He sits on a ragged branch.
His claws dig into the bark of the tree.
Everything in the forest talked around him.
His bright skin was a chandelier in the broad sunlight.
What will happen when a bug flies by?
What is he looking at?
By an impressive group of writers in Room 3!
In Room 3 we have been learning about POETIC WRITING TOOLS. We have embarked on a cooperative writing task to learn how to use our poetic writing tools effectively (not too little, not too much!). We classified sentences into three different types:
- Fact (using our senses: sight, taste, touch, hearing, and smell)
- Emotive (poetic writing tools)
- Thought (opinions, ideas, feelings, I wonder..., rhetorical questions)
Here are some photos of the shared writing Fiona did with us to help us learn about the different sentence types:
Using some amazing National Geographic images we wrote a collection of sentences, published them on white paper and then got together in our group and arranged our sentences to form an amazing piece of poetic writing.
We are now creating incredible posters to display our writing using all sorts of bits and pieces. Stay tuned to see then on our blog and on the wall in our classroom soon!
Here are some pictures Fiona took of us as she caught us focusing on our writing and working cooperatively:
Hi Room 3, that's a really impressive Lizard poem - I wish I could be so clever with my words!
