Charge of the Light Brigade (The Crimean War)

 L.I: To learn about the Charge of the Light Brigade.
This week for Reading we learnt about a narrative poem called ‘Charge of The Light Brigade’ written by Alfred Lord Tennyson of the Crimean war which takes place in the 1753 - 1856. We tried unpacking each stanza and thinking about the literary in them and then creating a collaborative DLO summarizing what we've learnt about the Crimean War and the poem itself. I worked with Florence.

Poetry Patterns and Features

L.I: To identify vocabulary and language features for use in writing a poem.
Today for inquiry we made posters showing the Language features in a poem. We did this activity in pairs, my pair was Mele. Before creating our own posters we were shown what to do as an example from Mr Wong. Then we created a google draw. Through this week week of poetry we have read a lot of poems, 20 to be in fact and we had to choose 1 to write about. We had to show the poem and make a text box which showed what patterns or features that poem had. We chose the dessert poem shown in the DLO. It had a type-of-poem which had a pattern of types of words. Then we also put the language features it had by showing it with coloured x's. Then we lastly decorated it. I learnt the language features and patterns a poem can have.
