Summary for Lesson 7
In today’s class we started our poetry work, focusing on Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky poem. We learned about what makes a poem a poem, practiced using poetic techniques and also spoke about iambic pentametre. The students came up with their own examples of this before we watched the poem being read out loud and the class created some amazing Jabberwocky-inspired poetic lines of their own. We then did some questions analysing the poem and finally looked at an annotated version of it. Amazing and passionate work today everyone- well done for all your wonderful poetry! Keep up the brilliant ideas 🙂
