Clickety-Clack Cicada

We have been learning about language features during Literacy. The way we have been doing this is by reading and understanding poems. Some of the features we identified in the poems are metaphors, verbs, onomatopoeia, and adjectives. This week we read Clickety-Clack Cicada by Jill Brasell.

I found it easy to identify some of the language features such as onomatopoeia.

I found it hard to find verbs in the poem because I am just learning about them.

I really enjoyed reading the line What a noisy song! in the poem.

I need to work on discussing the poem more and sharing my ideas with my buddies.

The Loaves

We were learning about metaphors of the poem.

I did not know what metaphors are.

I found It easy to colour in my drawings on the sides.

I found It hard to find more metaphors in the story.

I really enjoyed talking about the metaphors in the poem. My favourite metaphor was about the clouds being loaves of bread.

Next time I can try to make some metaphors for my own writing like the sun is a big orange balloon.
