Dr. Suess - Author Study | Book Week

L.I: To learn about Dr. Seuss.
This week is Book week and LS1 has done an Author Study. Today we re-searched about Theoder Seuss Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss. He was an american author, poet, artists, screenwriter, and film-maker. Our library was lucky enough to have a supply of a variety of his books the class was able to read. Our task was to complete an Author Study D.L.O about him so that we could only find out more and build our knowledge about him. We had to re-search and find information that could for-fill the answers to the following questions of his real name, the country he was birthed, his first published story including the date, his target audience for the books, example of his books and the characteristics of the stories he published. We also had to insert photographs and images of Theoder, his country of birth, image of the story, and a book image of choice which I decided to use one of his popular books. Dr. Seuss is one of my favourite artists because of his books, but I didn't know much about him so I got to find out more when re-searching.

Types of Rhyme | Rhyme Study

L.I: To learn about rhyme using Dr. Seuss books.
This week for Inquiry we have been focusing on book week and Dr. Seuss under inquiry. Since Dr. Seuss likes to rhyme in his books we looked at different types of rhyme. There are four that we learnt about which is End Rhyme, Alliteration, Consonance, and Assonance. In a basic definition End rhyme is the end sounds of words are repeated, alliteration is the beginning sounds of words are repeated, assonance is where vowel sounds are repeated, and consonance is constant sounds that are repeated. We have to first learn about them and get into groups of four to work together and highlight the showings of the rhyme that make it what it is. I worked with Florence, Alayah, and Juel. Then we had to make a D.L.O about the rhymes explaining what they mean and examples from Dr. Seuss books. I worked on alliteration and the example book I used was "The Lorax".
