*Tomorrow is ORANGE SHIRT DAY because EVERY CHILD MATTERS!
FRENCH 8B
Three students were in the Chaise Chaud. We then watched the AVOIR video and finished correcting our practice sheet from yesterday. The students then practiced some more by playing a Kahoot. We are having a quiz on AVOIR on Wednesday, October 4th. Don't forget and please study.
FRENCH 7A
The students reviewed numbers and then had a quiz to see what they knew. We then introduced weather terms and finished with a number kahoot.
ELA 9A
The students read for 10 minutes. Then they started to rotate through poetry stations for the following types of poems:
DIAMANTE - a poem contrasting two subjects, usually opposites
Line 1 - one noun (a person place or thing) subject # 1
Line 2 - two adjectives (words that describe nouns) describing subject #1
Line 3 - three participles (verbs ending in 'ing') telling about subject #1
Line 4 - four nouns - first 2 related to subject #1, second 2 related to subject #2)
Line 5 - three participles - telling about subject #2
Line 6 - two adjectives - describing subject #2
Line 7 - one noun - subject #2
ABC POEM - a short poem, using an alphabet sequence and expressing a strong emotion
Structure: First 4 lines are clauses (not complete sentences) and each express an emotion. The beginning of each line is written alphabetically. (The first line does not have to start with A, for example you could use M, N, O, P). Then line 5 is a sentence beginning with any letter.
PARTS OF SPEECH POEM - can be on any topic following the structure below:
Line 1 - one article (a, an, the) + one noun (person, place or thing)
Line 2 - one adjective (describing the noun) + one conjunction (joining word - and, but) + second
adjective
Line 3 - one verb (action word) + one conjunction + second verb
Line 4 - one adverb (word describing a verb)
Line 5 - one noun (relating to the noun in the first line), maybe a synonym
TERSE VERSE - a short poem with a very long introduction using large or impressive sounding words and the poem itself containing some rhyming words.
Examples: What Mary was given when her brother turned her around: a SISTER TWISTER
What Jeff did in preparation for reciting his poem: REHEARSE the VERSE
ADDITION POEM this is a poem based on an animal, place, person or event where you sum up all the best things about your choice and then write your poem as a mathematical equation.
ELA 9B
The students read for 10 minutes. Then they started to rotate through poetry stations for the following types of poems:
LIMERICK - has both a structure and a rhyme scheme
Line 1 - eight syllables A
Line 2 - eight syllables A
Line 3 - five syllables B
line 4 - five syllables B
Line 5 - eight syllables A
COUPLET - this simple rhyming pattern consists of two lines which rhyme and usually have a humourous twist. Lines can be any length but the rhythm and rhyme should match the thought or mood of the poem.
ALLITERATION - this type of poetry uses the repetition of a sound in two or more neighboring words. It is a bit like a tongue twister.
CONCRETE POETRY is written to show a visual as well as a written message. They may be one word, a sentence, or more. Think carefully about your word choices.
EPITAPHS - these short statements are often engraved onto tombstones in memory of someone who has died. Epitaphs may be humourous but are more often serious.
