Tuesday 1stDecember 2020 I can create rhyming couplets.
Words that rhyme have the same end sound. Sometimes they have the same ending letters which helps us know they rhyme. For example: cat and mat, dress and mess loud and proud, Sometimes they have different ending letters, but are still rhyming words as they make the same sound. For example: cheese and peas, fly and eye, whale and snail
You can write rhyming poems by using pairs or groups of words that use the same sounds. This is called a rhyme scheme.
You can work out the rhyme scheme of a poem by labelling the words that rhyme with each other. This will help you see the pattern of the poem. For example: If a poem's first and third lines rhyme you should label those A. If the second and fourth lines of the poem rhyme, label these B. Then you can see your four line poem has an A B A B rhyme scheme. If all four lines rhyme with each other, this would be an A A A A rhyme scheme. You could also have an A A B B rhyme scheme, or A B B A. There are lots of possibilities!
You are now going to create some rhyming word pairs which you will use later to write a poem about an animal. First choose your animal and think about what they are like. What colour is your animal? What do they eat? How do they act? What noises do they make? Now think of some rhyming word pairs about your animal and write them down. See if you can create at least six different rhyming pairs. Don't worry if they don't quite make sense, just write them all down to see what you can come up with. Top tip First think of a word that links to your animal and then think of a rhyming word to go with it. For example: bee - see buzz - fuzz black - sack yellow - mellow wings - sings flower - power
Now you are going to write a poem about your animal using the rhyming pairs you came up with previously. The poem should be four lines long and follow the A A B B rhyme scheme. Choose two of your rhyming pairs. You will use these at the end of each line. One pair will be at the end of lines one and two. The second pair will be at the end of lines three and four. For example: Bertie the bee buzzed up to a flower And sucked up the nectar that gave him power. Now Bertie was a super strong bee So he flew back to his beehive for all the others to see. C: Can you carry on and write another four lines using the same rhyme scheme?
