During Written Language this term students defined and discussed the purpose of poetry and had opportunities to share poetry styles and poets who were already known. Once this was established, a more thorough investigation into Quatrain Poetry occurred.
The quatrain is a poem or stanza of four lines and has several common rhyming patterns: AABB, ABAB, ABBA and ABCA. Students explored the AABB model during class and had opportunities to develop their own, relating to the topic ‘Grandparents’. Discussions about rhyme and rhythm occurred throughout the investigation, to ensure the best possible outcome for each student. All poems are on display and a separate copy was provided to each student’s grandparent on Grandparents’ Day.
