Here is the class collaborative poem that came out of our discussion on descriptive language, metaphor and simile.

Jeffrey the Pineapple was sitting on the plant as silent as a rock

As yellow as Spongebob,

As sturdy as Spongebob's house.

Its citrus so visible you could taste it from afar.

A pineapple, when I eat it my mouth goes south

The sourness causes trembles in my mouth.

Armour of a knight, rough and spiky,

But on the inside like a newborn baby.











Today we looked at Martin Luther King Jr's I have a Dream Speech
This is an amazing poetry slam - in my opinion.
Full of descriptive language, simile and metaphor.
Continue to revise your poem - paint it.
Make sure everyone listening to you is seeing, in their mind, exactly what you want them to see.

Math
Make sure you are comfortable measuring and classifying angles.
Complete the six angles we worked on today.
