2. Poetry
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: Tanka
At first glance, the tanka looks just like a haiku that is extended by two lines. The tanka, from the Japanese word for "short poem," is a five-line poem that uses strong images to establish a mood. Literary devices like metaphor, simile, and personification are often found in tanka. A tanka generally has 31 syllables spread over five lines in this way: 5-7-5-7-7. Read the examples below.
After reading the examples, answer the questions below. You can print out the page and fill it in, save a copy of it and edit it with your answers, or write your responses on a separate piece of paper. When finished, upload your answers to FreshGrade. If you require further clarification, be sure to check out the "Daily Reading and Writing Tasks" video for today found on the Teams channel.
