This week, the Figurative Rap rocked my socks off! I didn't think that we were actually assembling a lyric until we heard the song. I thought it was a really fun activity. Our exercises on simile, metaphor, hyperbole and personification were really comprehensive. I think that it was a good start to the idea of poetry with simple exercises as such as I am only warming up to the practice of using figurative language.
BTW THE ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S RIDDLE IS WATER BOTTLE! :D
I would like to do writing exercises like the mini essay we did this week to apply this fresh knowledge as it will slip off my mind if I don't constantly practice using them. I am finding this topic to be more and more interesting as I'm exploring and learning about interpreting and digging deeper to find a meaning. I expect to improve in organizing the way I write and my interpreting skills through continuous, small writing exercises. It's been a great week! :)
Glad you've enjoyed it Jo!
ReplyDeleteI know your workload is getting heavier as we approach the GCSE exams, but if you want to practise even more often I am always happy to give you feedback on mini tasks that you set yourself. Or you can ask me for some. If I have time, perhaps I'll try and start creating a bank of such tasks for everyone but you might have to remind me...
Thanks for your wonderful positivity as always.
Have a great weekend :)
