POETIC TERMS
Currently this week we have been looking at Poetic terms, their meanings and completing exercises from the “Enjoying More Poetry Book”. This is more individualized learning. We have been looking at Simile, Metaphor, Alliteration, Assonance and Onomatopoeia. All this is preparation for the creative writing section of the end of year exams. For extra help most of the class has completed the section in the homework books on Written Language.
