Task
  • I would like for you to learn about the nature of these four poems and see how they are similar to each other and how they differ from each other.

For Jabberwalky it sends off a sad mood in the begining but then the son of a scared guy kills the jabborwalky with a sword.This poem is diffrent from all the other poems because it is based in a fantasy land and the poem uses made up words to tell the story.

For Stopping By The Woods you have a scared feeling at the beginning because the guy is tresspassing then his horse gets angry that he is in the middle of the woods and is cold and dark.

For Toasting Marshmallows there is a girl who talks about the way she toasts marshmallows to the way her brother toasts them, she has more of a perfect golden marshmallow were her brother " grabs ‘em with grubby hands shoves ‘em on the stick burns ‘em to a crisp cools ‘em off flicks soot eats quick".                                  

For The Window At Night the poet is talking about her facial features and comparing them to stuff and she talks about how she feels when people look at her and how she looks like her family.

  • Determine if there is a rhyme scheme.

Jabborwalky the rhyme scheme is A,B,A,B more or less

Stopping by the Woods the rhyme scheme is A,A,B,A  B,B,C,B  C,C,D,C  D,D,D,D

Toasting marshmallows the rhyme scheme is A,A,B,C,D,E,E,E  F,G,H,I,J,K,H  H,H

The Window At Night the rhyme scheme is none this poem does not rhyme

 

  • Write down which poem you like best, and why?

I expect most kids to like Jabborwalky because it is a cool poem useing made up words and it has action.
