The Sounds of Poetry

Hello 6th Grade Students!

Welcome to second semester!

This week we read and discussed some wonderful poems in class by Gwendolyn Brooks, Shakespeare and Ogden Nash. From all the poems we read, ("Cynthia in the Snow," "Full Fathom Five," "Nash Menagerie") which was your favorite? Why? Which poetic devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme, meter) did you like best in the poem you chose?
