The 3 Elements of Poetry

Today for English we used Autumn and our Harvest Festival as inspiration to learn about poetry. The students brainstormed what they thought poetry was, then matched this with one definition. From there, they explored their ideas relating to Autumn and used the three elements of poetry to improve their writing.

Here are our ideas:

• Rhyme
• It's like a song that you talk
• Words that collaborate in some way
• It paints a picture, or images, in your mind

This bolded words above are the three elements of poetry:

1. Rhyme - 
2. Rhythm - 
3. Imagery - 

Check these poems as our first attempts - we published these using GarageBand to showcase our writing.
