hello again grade 4’s · 3. personification- when something not human is given human qualities....

Hello again Grade 4’s

These next 2 weeks, we’re going to stir up our creative juices – we’re going to write poetry.

Poets write poetry to share their thoughts and feelings with the world. Poetry is a special form of

writing. Poets write in different and creative ways. A poem paints a picture with words.

A poem:

Has a title

Can be about anything

Can use few words

Has a unique form and shape

May or may not have rhythm and a beat

Often uses adjectives to describe

May include figures of speech (metaphors, similes, alliteration, personification etc)

Is easy to create

May be serious or humorous

Usually expresses important personal feelings

Not all, but many poems use words that rhyme. Two words rhyme when they have the same

ending sound eg. think and pink rhyme - they both end with the “ink” sound.

Two lines of poetry that rhyme with each other at the end are called a rhyming couplet. Writing

rhyming poetry can be difficult because you need to choose words that rhyme.

I like… (TITLE: tells you what the poem is about)

I like a lot of things alliteration

I like fat, furry, fluffy things that bark

I like bright days that smile at me personification

I like smells that gently stroke my nose assonance

I like tastes that tickle my tongue

I like friends that make me feel like a star simile

I like sounds that go ding dong onomatopoeia

I like music that makes me sing

I like a lot of things

Poetry Terms- Learn these commonly used figures of speech when reading or writing poetry.

1. Alliteration- the repeating of the same beginning sound in more than two words.

Example: David’s dog dug a deep hole.

2. Onomatopoeia- words that sound like the object or actions they refer to.

Example: The duck went quack!

3. Personification- when something not human is given human qualities.

Example: The book winked at me.

4. Rhyme- words that have the same end sounds.

Example: David’s dog likes to play,

He’ll run and jump all day.

5. Metaphor- a direct comparison between two unlike things, saying that one thing is another.

Example: He is a clown.

6. Simile- a comparison between two unlike things using “like” or “as.”

Example: She cries like a baby.

7. Assonance - the repetition of the sound of the vowel that continually appears in the line

of a verse.

Example: He made a new cake and ate it quickly. (repetition of the long “a” sound)

TASK #1

SHAPE POEMS - A shape poem is a poem that takes on the shape of the thing you're writing

about. So, if you wanted to write a poem about an apple, you could write it inside of the outline of

an apple, or you could write a short poem and make the words the outline of the apple. It's a

simple way to spark your creativity. Here are two shape poems:

TASK #2

Now, in your book, write a shape poem about a kite (in the shape of a kite) and another one of

your own choice.

ACROSTIC POEMS - An acrostic poem is a fun poem for kids. Each acrostic poem has a

topic idea running down the left side of the poem. Each letter in the topic word has a new thought

that runs off the side from left to right and is relevant to the topic word. The topic word is normally

the title of the poem. Here is an example:

STARS

Stars shine brightly

Tonight

And they bring us light and

Remind us of hope.

TASK #3

In your workbook, write your own acrostic poem about one of the words below:

2. Other learners also tried to draw a square, without using a ruler or other straight

object.

Surfaces with other shapes

Rectangles and squares are also quadrilaterals. The four corners of a rectangle or a

square look the same.

1. Which of these figures are not quadrilaterals?

Figure L is not called a quadrilateral because it is open at one place. Only closed figures,

such as those below, are called quadrilaterals.

b A C

D

e F G

h

i J

K l

Some of the faces of Block C

are triangles .

Block C

The faces of Block D have four

sides each.

Such figures are called

quadrilaterals .

page do the four corners look the same?

3. (a) Which of the figures on this page are rectangles?

(b)Which figures on this page are rectangles but not squares?

A closed figure with four straight sides is called a quadrilateral.

A quadrilateral of which all four corners look the same is called a

rectangle.

A closed figure with three straight sides is called a triangle.

A closed figure with five straight

sides is called a pentagon.

A closed figure with six straight sides is called a hexagon.

Any closed figure with straight sides is called a polygon.

4. a. Which figures in question 1 are not polygons?

Target worksheet 3 Date: ___________________

1. Use your straight edge and a sharp pencil to draw three triangles of about the

same size, but with different shapes.

The red and black triangles on

the right has the same shape.

The one is just bigger than the

other.

These two triangles do not have the

same shape.

When you make a drawing without using a straight edge or other tool, it is called a

freehand drawing.

Artists mainly make freehand drawings.

2. Make freehand drawings of the following:

(a) a triangle (b) a quadrilateral that is not a rectangle

(c) a pentagon (d) a hexagon

3. Make a freehand drawing of three triangles with the same shape, one inside the

other.

4. Draw three triangles, not inside each other, with the same shape but different

sizes. Do not use a straight edge.

5. How did you try to make sure that your three triangles have the same shape?

squares or rectangles.

1. You need to make grid paper before you can do the next

task.

Use your ruler and a sharp pencil as shown here, to make

a grid on a whole clean page of ruled paper.

Your grid should consist of small squares, as shown below.

You will need at least three sheets of grid paper.

2. The places where the grid lines meet is called grid points.

a. Draw a large rectangle on a grid by joining four grid points. Use your straight

edge. Your rectangle must not be a square.

b. Draw a square as big as possible inside the rectangle.

c. Draw a line inside your square so that it forms two triangles with the same shape.

3. a. Draw a large triangle by joining three points on one half of a new grid sheet.

b. Draw another triangle, of exactly the same shape and size, on the other half of

the grid sheet.

4. a. Draw a polygon with seven sides on grid paper.

b. Divide your polygon into triangles.

5. Draw a square on less than half of a grid sheet. Then draw a circle as neatly as you

can tightly inside the square.

6. Draw a rectangle that is not a square on less than half of

a grid sheet.

(Then draw a figure that looks like an egg tightly inside

the rectangle).

Target worksheet 5 Date: _____________

Learn to multiply with bigger numbers

You will learn to multiply with bigger numbers, for example how to calculate

6 × 54 or 73 × 5.

If you can do such calculations, you can easily and quickly find out how many

rings there are in the diagram below, without counting all the rings.

Zweli knows that 7 × 40 = 280.

He also knows that 7 × 6 = 42.

Zweli thinks he can use this knowledge to quickly find out how many rings there are in

the above diagram.

1. Do you think the diagram below has the same number of rings as the

diagram above?

2. (a) Do you agree that in the diagram in question 1, there is 7 × 40 rings and another

7 × 6 rings?

(b) If 7 × 40 = 280 and 7 × 6 = 42, how many rings are there altogether?

3. Copy the four numbers below. Then add 30 each time to write the next six numbers

in the pattern.

30 60 90 120 . . .

4. Work out how many rings there are in this diagram.

5. How many rings do you think there are in this diagram?

6. What is 6 × 67? How did you work that out?

7. Complete the table.

Mia calculates the cost of 27 pancakes like this:

I look at the cost of 20 pancakes and add that to the cost of 7 pancakes.

To calculate 68 × 7, the 68 can be broken down into 60 and 8:

60 × 7 = 420 and 8 × 7 = 56. So, 68 × 7 = 420 + 56

which is 476.
