Introduction to Poetry
In addition to preparing for the ELA assessment in January, we began a short poetry unit this week. Students should review the following terms that we have studied in class.
poetry - a type of literature that expresses thoughts and feelings in compact and imaginative ways
rhythm - the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem or it's beat
rhyme - the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words
repetition - repeating a word or phrase in a poem in order to emphasize a specific idea
