When the rock says it can’t, the bubble becomes aggressive and tries to get past. In doing so, it bursts. Remind students that at the end, the birds tell their babies to learn a lesson from this. Tell students that when there is a lesson to be learned from a story, this is known as a moral. Ask them to tell you what the moral of the story is (it doesn’t pay to be stubborn/being stubborn can have negative consequences). 2 Refer students to the first two verses. Ask a volunteer to read them out. Elicit whether they rhyme and ask students to underline the words that rhyme. Elicit which lines in each verse rhyme. Students could read the information in the About the poem box at this stage if they haven’t already. Point out that this is a traditional format for poems. Answers sea/merrily; by/cry The second and fourth lines rhyme. CULTURAL INFORMATION This poem follows a traditional rhyme scheme called abcb. This means that the second and fourth lines rhyme. It also contains end rhyming – that is, the end words in those lines are the ones that rhyme. It contains examples of true rhymes and light rhymes: true rhymes are where the final vowel and consonant sounds of rhyming words match exactly (e.g. cried–pride), whereas in words that are light rhymes, one of the words involves rhyming a stressed syllable with secondary stress (e.g. sea–merrily; sea–pleasantly – the rhyme is on the secondary stress ly in both of the longer words). 3 Students are now going to write two verses of their own about two unusual objects meeting. First, look at the list of words they could use together. Ask students to try and think of one or more words that rhyme with each one. Students can do this in pairs if you prefer. Discuss their ideas together and share ideas on the board. Download 108.57 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
