My Reflection:  

What helps my learning is that I can have a choice to choose what I want to do.

What I find tricky is I have to sit in one place for 20 minutes.

Something I am working on improving is practise sitting in one place.

'Did You Ever' poem

My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and 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:
I learnt how to write a African Praise Poem.
It was hard when I  was writing the animal metaphor.
Next time I have to search for interesting words and make it more like me.

Welcome

My name is Sylvia. 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 badminton, art and maths. This year I hope I can participate in ICT and art enrichment. I'm looking forward to having lots of visitors  and reading your comments.

I am excited about going to Camp M.E.R.C and all the things happening this year.
