Homework due Friday, 28th April
What is your favourite poem? Mine is 'The Magic Box' by Kit Wright. You can read it below...
I love it because Kit Wright has described some truly wonderful things. Some of them only exist in the imagination and could never really be put in a box. He has used wonderful vocabulary to describe these images and you can really imagine what they would look, sound or feel like. I also love the way the poem sounds when you read it aloud. Especially the first line, 'the swish of a silk sari on a summer night.' The alliteration (repetition of the 's' sound) really helps it to slip off the tongue.
You may choose one of the following tasks:
1) Can you continue the poem? What would you put into the magic box? Write three verses that describe what you would put into the box.
2) What is your favourite poem? Choose your favourite poem and write it up neatly on paper. You may decorate it if you like. Can you also explain why you like it? Which are your favourite words, images or sentences?
The Magic Box continued
ReplyDeleteI will put into the box…
a cow driving a formula one,
a fish flying in midair
and a falcon swimming underwater.
I will put into the box…
a person living in television,
a person living on paper
and a drawing living on earth.
I will put into the box…
a person living on paper,
a person living in television
and an animation living on earth.

In my magic box
ReplyDeleteI would put my very
first pair of black and blue trainers
so that I can remember my very first steps!
Another thing I would put in my box would be..
My flashy red tablet
to make sure I don’t get bored,
and have lots of fun.
Then I would put in my box
A friend so that I could
have some company and so that
I would not feel lonely by myself.
I will put into the box…
ReplyDeleteA golden beach on a summer night,
The crashing of the waves,
The dropping of the water
Hitting the sand.
I will put into the box…
A giggling, green grape,
A burping bouncing tiger,
A farting, flying fish.
I will put in the box…
A bouncy, brown rotten apple,
A car sailing, under water,
A potion bottle flying.

this is a really good poem
ReplyDeleteI will put in the box...
ReplyDeleteThe marvelous snowman ready to melt
a bunny ready to eat some leaves
and a wolf starting to howl when it's sunset.
I will put in the box...
ReplyDeleteThe coldest ice cream from far
A warm winter coat that is used for the coldest environment
And a bed cover that is as warm as silk
I will put in the box...
some golden sand from a glorious beach in croatia
A sea blue sky
the smell of delicious pancakes cook on a frying pan.
My box is fashioned with beautiful patterns from ancient greek times
pictures of purple skies when the sun setts in the west.
I will put in the box…
ReplyDelete5 talking elephants chanting holy prayers
The bright sun shining during the day
An ancient word spoken by a Chinese dragon
I will put in the box…
A horse tap dancing
A moving statue saying hello
13 wishes from genie
I will put in the Box…
A Lamborghini climbing a mountain
A talking bike wondering around the park
A shooting star racing around the world.

ReplyDeleteI will put in the magic box the sounds of the amazing whales.
I will put the remarkable bear's food inside.
And, I will put the sounds of the language of the fantastic Indians.
