I was learning how to do Place Value to Millions. I found it tricky because they were  all  very big numbers. My next step is to ask my teacher for some more help.

My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and the traditional way

for Africans to introduce themselves in a new situation.

IALT write a traditional Praise Poem, to introduce myself to the class.

Success Criteria:

I will explore the subject of African praise poetry,

I will take risks, and use imagery to reveal myself in poetic form.

I will follow the structure of a typical African Praise poem.

I will perform my poem to an audience, maybe using drums.

Structure:

Line 1 -        Introducing myself.

Line 2 –           Introduction to my family and heritage.
Line 3 -        Animal metaphor
Line 4 –         Nature metaphor
Line 5 –         Personality and Qualities
Chorus -           Refrain describing my talents, co-written by my peers.

My reflection:  I found my African Praise Poem hard, because I needed help from my teacher.  My next step is to use some new ideas to help me with my poetry.   My favourite part was thinking about which animal I would want to be to describe myself.
