Ciara was a lady from France
Who went to an old fashioned dance
She danced really quick
And did a neat trick
But she left with a hole in her pants
A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.
Using Limericks is an interesting way of capturing students attention in order to introduce a lesson. Therefore I will be writng my own limericks for my lessons to display my creativity to students while at the same time capturing their attention. Miss Polius always introduce fun innovative ways to teach.

This was a very interesting and informative class. I learned a new strategy for teaching poetry in my classroom which will help my students develop a love for poetry... Shameika
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this lesson. I have always loved poetry but for some reason I was never good at writing it, also i don think that much emphasis was placed on this genre of writing during my primary and secondary schools years. Therefore, with the knowledge gained from this lesson i will ensure that this type of writing gets the attention it deserve and also share the love for it with my students.
ReplyDeletethis type of writing will definitely be used me by to gain my students interest when teaching them any subject
