6B’s Winter Poetry Performances!

Over the last two weeks, as part of their English unit, 6B have been learning about Sonnets and have tried very hard to create their very own seasonal poem! We used the cold, blistering weather as a stimulus to develop our winter vocabulary and phrases linking to our five senses.

Today, using emphasis, expression, gesticulation, we performed our poems! Have a look at our imovie below!

Challenge: How do you know you have created a winter sonnet? How did you build imagery for your reader when performing?

    To make a winter sonnet the rhyming pattern has to be ababababababcc
    And there has to be 10syllables
    And putting stress on the second syllable in each foot
    One foot is 2 syllables

    When creating a winter sonnet I know I have completed it by it having a rhyming pattern which is ABAB ABAB ABAB CC, 14 lines, figurative language and sometimes iambic pentameter.
    I can build imagery by using intonation and gesticulation.

    I know I have made a winter sonnet because:
    There are 14lines altogether
    There are 8-12 syllables on each line (10 usually)
    In every line there is some type of figurative language
    The final two lines should have a rhyming pattern of CC
    There is a rhyming pattern in each line following ABAB
    Every other line should rhyme
    I built imagery when performing as I used similes and metaphors along with personification.
