This week in English, we have looked closely at song lyrics and poetry. As a re-hook we used Michael Jackson’s Earth Song and looked at the emotive language used, the rhythm and rhyme and the meaning behind the song. The children linked the song brilliantly to our Expedition and decided to make a stand!
we focussed on all the different factors and the children chose something they wanted to make a stand about to make our world a better place.
We then used the iPads to look closely at the lyrics and the vocabulary used in the song. In groups, the children created a vocabulary wall of all the language that stood out to them.
I can’t wait to see lots of poems using some of these awesome key words!
