Emotional Poetry!

Yesterday in class we looked at writing emotional poetry. Students drew a random emotion out of a bag and had to try and write a poem on that emotion. We used cues such as 'What would that emotion look like?', 'What would that emotion sound like?' and 'What would that emotion feel like?'.

The students wrote some AMAZING poetry. Have a look below and see if you can guess what emotion they were each writing about!

Amazing poetry Room 8!

Black bag similes

In class today room 8 had a writing lesson where they had to come up with similes describing what they felt when they put their hand into a mysterious black bag. Only Miss Morrison knew what was inside the bag and the students of room 8 had to put their hands in and use similes to describe what they felt. Here are some of the similes they came up with!
