Worksheet 4 (Electronic Reference Center)
Things
to Do:
Task
#1
Go to the Electronic
Library
and
select a poem that you would like to use for this assignment.
Print a copy of it.
Task
#2 Using the poem that you selected, go to the
Rhyming Dictionary
and
find a minimum
of 5 rhyming words and 5 synonyms,
that you can replace words in your poem with.
Note:
(You may
replace more than 5 words in each category and certainly the meaning of the poem
may change, but it should still make sense, even though it may be silly).
You will share the new version of your poem with the class.
(Poetic vocabulary list will be given to each
student as a class handout, lists may vary
depending on learner needs).
Task #3 Use these two sites, Common Poetic Terms and Glossary of Poetic Terms to look up your list of vocabulary words. Please write the definition and also use the word in a sentence. You will be asked to share 2 of your words with the class.
Extra?
Find another
new word
to add to your vocabulary list that you have never heard of before.
