Hello 3E!
Unfortunately, you had to leave school before our lesson today because of the typhoon. Since we don’t have class, I wanted to share a bit about what we would have learned in class today.
There are three poets in Unit 1 of your GT English books. Let me introduce them to you!

We will study many types of poems in class this term. Check out this BrainPop Jr video as an introduction!
We will continue with poetry on Monday! I hope you guys stay dry in this typhoon!

Hello everyone!
It was great meeting you all today! I hope we have lots of fun this school year.
To begin the class, I introduced myself, my interests, and some rules I have in class. I will remind you:
Today, I introduced poetry. Poetry Is a type of literature, or artistic writing, that attempts to stir a reader’s imagination or emotions. The poet does this by carefully choosing and arranging language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. A person who writes poetry is poet.
Next, we read a poem in the GT English book called Wavy Hair to find the meaning, sound, and rhythm.
Meaning: what the poem is about? It could be about finding happiness or loving nature.

To begin the class, I introduced myself, my interests, and some rules I have in class. I will remind you:
- Bring your GT English book every class! We will keep them in class when we aren’t using them so you don’t lose them.
- Always return your GT English book the day after homework is assigned. I am working in Mong Kok campus only on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I need to mark your books.
- Have fun in class and try your hardest!

Sound: the repetition, rhyme scheme, and sounds of the last words of each line.
Repetition means repeating words. Not words like ‘I’, but other words that help us understand. These repeated words let us know that they are important in the poem.
Rhythm: the beat of the poem and stress put on syllables.
Think of a sound with a good beat. Poetry also has a beat.
Together, we read the poem several times until we the beat of the poem. There was a stress put on the even syllables.
We also read it again to see if you could find any rhyming words!
We had a very nice first class today.
Since we only had a single lesson today, and most of that was taken up by other things, we didn’t get very far, but we will continue on Thursday. Great job today.
Please try logging into your Raz Kids account today. If you have a problem, please let me know.
See you Thursday!
