today boys and girls we're going to look at our nature poem again and we're going to focus on what good Writers Do first of all remember that poetry is all about painting pictures in your reader's mind do you want to double-check that in your palm you've used adjectives adjectives are words that describe nouns if we look at my poem in the first stanza you can see I don't just mention class I talked about them being puffy rain clouds the drops of rain I say that they're soft another thing you want to make sure that you do you've used words that sound good if your poem is read out loud for example this year we've talked about onomatopoeia that's a word that stands for a sound that an animal or some other object might make once again if we look at my poem The Bees I say the bees Buzz frantically Buzz the word that stands for the sound bees make I do this again when I talk about pitter-pat rain doesn't actually go pitter-pat it's a word to stand for the sound next I want you to check to see if you use any alliteration or the repeating of a first sound once again this makes her poem sound really good when it's read aloud if we look into my we can see I talked about the bees Buzz repeating the Bubba Bubba sound and then I say it again when I talk about sweet scent has crossed out I've changed it but try to use at least one piece of alliteration in your poem finally bringing in the scale for the week we're going to focus on similes I know sir Graeter's you've learned about metaphors but I think it's easier for all of us to use similes similes compare two different things using like or as so when I went through my poem in the second stanza you can see I replaced my line the sweet scent of roses brings peace Two Roses sweetest perfume bring peace I'm comparing roses with perfume linking the two different words with as I made a simile once again in my third stanza I did with the line here tiny pink flowers but on trees I changed it to surprising pink buds open like gifts so I'm comparing the buds with gifts linking them together with the word like see your next step is to do the same thing to go back through your palm and see if you can make some of these changes
