This week we will be continuing our poetry unit.  We will be learning about stanzas, rhythm, and meter in poetry. Watch the video below of a Jack Prelutsky poem, "I Tried To Do My Homework."  Did you enjoy the poem? Can you relate to any of the words in this poem? What elements of poetry did you notice in the poem (rhyme, rhythm, figurative language, etc)?

  8. I liked this poem and I liked the way it rhymed. I read this poem and others by this author with my mom. I liked the personification in the last line when the science homework ate his dog. That was really funny. -- Chuckles Rzeppa
