Today we learned about the iambic pentameter and the anapestic tetrameter.
Moore used anapestic tetrameter in his work: "T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house..." We employed the anapestic tetrameter in our own works of poetry about Thanksgiving." Kaleigh wrote, "We will eat all the turkey and yummy green peas." And Kate wrote, "On this Thursday of November, dawn is to break, My eyelids will open and I'll start to wake." We plan to share our completed poems with the second graders. This activity was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again in the future.
