Poetry

At first, I thought rhyme was words that sound alike, but I learned that rhyme is a repetition of the sound of the stressed vowel and any sound that fallows in words that are close together.

An example of a poem with end rhyme is below. The title is love poem, and the author is Gary R. Hess. The rhyme scheme is A, BB, A, CC.

On my poetry pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at or above grade-level.

"Imagery and Figurative Language."

At first, I thought imagery was pictures being described in your own words, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, imagery is language that appeals to the five senses.I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was just simple phrases, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing or another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are similes,metaphors, and personification
