SLJ Step It Up: Poetry Slam Rima

Today, I did a task in which I wrote a Clerihew poem on a fairy tale.

First, I read this article on clerihew poems and learnt its rules and how to write them.

Second, I thought of a fairy tale that I would be making my poem which was "Jack and the beanstalk".

Third, I became creative and made a drawing on my fairy tale because it was my choice to choose what to do.

Fourth, I gathered my pencil, eraser, sharpener, a piece of paper and sketch pens to make my drawing.

Fifth, I searched for pictures on the internet so that I get an idea of what I am going to draw.

Next, I coloured in my drawing and added a black border so it looks better.

Then, I clicked a picture of my artwork and added it to a google drawing as my background picture. 

After that, I added the lines of my poem in a text box and recorded a screencastify in which I read my poem.

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 Clerihew poems can be made on anything and it just has to be funny with rhyming words.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to learn a new way of writing a poem.
