We have been learning about different types of poetry in our writing classes. Here is a very special poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae who was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I. He was born in Guelph, Ontario and died in France in 1918. What do you think about when you read this poem? How does it make you feel? Is this a structured poem or free verse?
Figurative language is something that makes books more enjoyable to read and makes our writing more interesting. Figurative language is used in poetry, songs, narratives or when we are talking to our friends are family. Watch the videos below to refresh your mind about the different types of figurative language. Can you think of any other examples of figurative language? Please share in your comments below.
We are getting excited for our Poetry Cafe on Monday, August 25th at 11:40am, where we will be sharing one or two of our favourite poems that we have written this term. We will be sharing our family and friends in 3/4F!
Looking forward to hearing all your wonderful poems 3/4M & 3/4F !

At the end of the video there is a mini quiz! They give you examples of figurative language and you have to decide what type of figurative language they use.
Challenge…can you answer the questions that are asked at the end of the video clip?
