TANKA POEMS

Today I presented the Tanka poem to the class and I thought it went pretty well. I think I explained everything clearly and I think everyone understood. Below you will see my Tanka and those of other students who were inspired by my teaching.

From Corinne:
A shattered window
To send shivers down my spine
Through a creaky door
Is.there any more to come?
These questions I dare to ask.

From Tessa:
Darkness up above
Bright moon with surrounding stars
Bats screeching in trees
Possums running round all night,
Sunrise, possums and bats hide.

Katherine:
The sun shines right down
with rays of heat and sunshine
Rain soon comes around
Wind twirls and whirls through the trees
Weather unpredictable

  1. Wow Grade 5/6 you have done an amazing job. Your poetry is very thoughtful and interesting.

    My Grade 1/2's have been learning about poetry. We have a poetry blog if you would like to have a look http://12poetry.global2.vic.edu.au/

    Maybe your class could teach my class about the poetry you have learnt?
