SLJ Step It Up: Poetry Slam Ono

Today, I did a task in which I made a snowball poetry on summer.

First, I watched the introduction video and read some examples of snowball poetry so that I get an idea of what I am going to do.

Second, I started thinking of a topic that was related to summer and I thought about watching the sunset at the beach.

Third, I opened a google drawings and added a picture of the sun setting at the beach.

Next, I added a heading and the poetry that I made at the side on top of the image.

I made sure that each line is one letter longer than the previous one while making my poetry.

Then, I recorded my screencastify in which I read my poem from the start.

Lastly, I embedded the video on my blog post so that I can share my work. I made sure to change the permission settings to "anyone with the link".

I learnt that a snowball is a poem where each line is longer than the previous one. Sometimes the lines get longer by one word and sometumes they get longer just by one letter.

I found this activity challenging because I thought of words that would sound better but it had so many letters and I could not add it on poem. 

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I learnt how to write a poem that was very challenging and it looked like a mountain when we look at its shape.
