Each week we are going to learn about a new type of poem. Complete each daily task so that you are ready to create the best possible poem that you can at the end of the week.
THIS WEEK'S POEM: Clerihew.
A clerihew is a four-line poem about a celebrity. It is made up of two rhymed couplets (groups of two lines). It gently pokes fun at the subject, but should not be hurtful. Read the example clerihews below.
Today, you will create a good copy of your poem. You will need to color and add illustrations. Try to include drawings of things related to the theme of your poem or details about you. See the example below. Upload your poem to FreshGrade by Monday evening.
EXAMPLE:
