'Did You Ever' poem

Reflection

What I found tricky at first was trying to balance on
the red stack em things

What I found easy was staking them and getting higher and higher

My next step is to try keep my balance while I'm
staking them.

My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and a Praise Poem, or isibongo  is the traditional way

for Africans to introduce themselves in a new situation.

IALT write a traditional Praise Poem, to introduce myself to the class.

Success Criteria:

I will explore the subject of African praise poetry,

I will take risks, and use imagery to reveal myself in poetic form.

I will follow the structure of a typical African Praise poem.

I will perform my poem to an audience, maybe using drums.

Structure:

Line 1 -        Introducing myself.

Line 2 –           Introduction to my family and heritage.
Line 3 -        Animal metaphor
Line 4 –         Nature metaphor
Line 5 –         Personality and Qualities
Chorus -           Refrain describing my talents, co-written by my peers.

Reflection
what I found tricky is thinking of what to write about my brother, sister plus my mum and dad

what I found easy was thinking of a animal to explain
my self and i choose an owl

my next step is to try harder to Describe my family.

Welcome to my Blog

My name is Tyra-lee. I go to Elm Park School and I'm in Room 19 with Mrs Taljaard.  I'm doing a blog so that I can post my work and get feedback.  I enjoy reading, Maths and Gymnastics.  This year I hope I can participate in peer mediation, Councillors and Digikids. I'm looking forward to having lots of visitors and reading your comments.

I'm excited about going to Camp MERC because we get to go rock climbing,  boat sailing,  surfing.
