Here is an example of a proficient blog post:
I chose the poem “Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, because I like how she uses alliteration. For example, she says, “Dandy-dance-by-night shoes” and “Pretty pointy-toe shoes.” I also like it more because it has lots of interesting words and sounds like a kid’s rap song. Finally, I like it more because it is about having to find the shoe that you want out of millions. “Choosing Shoes” is the clear winner!
Roger the dog is about a dog who is very lazy
ReplyDeleteCastle to the fire is about a knight who is going to save a woman.
I think Roger the dog won because it had so much complet it had it on every line.head and bread, dog and log,romp and chomp,wish and dish,and deep and sleep. I can conect to this poem I am lazy to I love to sleep,and that sounds like Roger.

I like Castle in the fire best, because of the rhythm Scheme, ABCC. I also like the alliteration, when the text says, “while we watched,” it makes the poem more fun to read. This is why Castle in Fire is the best poem.

ReplyDeleteI choose, “Roger the Dog,” by Ted Hughes as the better poem. I choose “Roger the Dog” because I like how it has alliteration. An example of the alliteration is when it says, “He bakes his head.” The poem also uses rhyme scheme. It is AA BB, and so on. I also like the poem because the dog in the poem is kind of like my dog. Although my dog is not as lazy as the dog in the poem he eats up his food really fast, and he does sleep a lot (not as much as the dog in the poem). I think “Roger the Dog” is the clear winner.

I think “Rodger the Dog” should win. This poem keeps the readers attention better. “Rodger the Dog” is more interesting and funnier. I can relate to “Roger the Dog” because I have two dogs and both of them act like “Roger the Dog”. One loves to sit by the fire and sleep and one likes to roll in cow business. I like “Roger the Dog “ clever word play and rhyme scheme “AAA BB”. Will.A

ReplyDeleteThe first poem “Roger the Dog’ is about a dog and what he does all day. The second poem “Castle in the Fire” is about the castle getting on fire and the knight seeing a girl at the top of the turret! I think that “Roger the Dog'' should be the winner because I like the writer's craft in it for example, the Alliotoration Dinner dish. I also ;like the rhyme scheme in it for example, you can roll him over with your foot he'll stay there snoring where he is put. I think that this poem is the clear winner. -Livi
ReplyDeleteI have read two poems. The first poem that I read was called “The Castle In the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr. The second poem that I read is called “Roger The Dog,” by Ted Hughes. The poem that I choose as my winner is definitely the poem “Roger the Dog.” I chose this poem because it uses lots of poet’s craft and I can make a connection to it. The connection that I have made to this poem is, in this poem there is a dog named Roger. Roger enjoys sleeping and eating just like my dog. However, this dog named Roger is very lazy unlike my dog, Bear.This poem uses many different types of poet’s craft. This poem uses couplets. For example,”Asleep he wheezes at his ease. He only wakes to scratch his fleas.” “Ease,” and “fleas” are couplets. This poem is the clear winner.
