What makes a good performance? We have been studying how poetry is written for performance and the techniques writers use like rhythm, repetition, personification, metaphors, similes, onomatopoeia, facial and body expressions. We read and looked at poems by Michael Rosen, Roger McGough and Roald Dahl. Our challenge was to use a traditional nursery rhyme and write our own version – with a twist. We performed our poems to the class remembering everything we had learnt from the experts.
They were brilliant! Here are a few photos of us in action.
