Poetry by Tim

 

Tim  loves many things in life, writing is not one of them;)

 

His disdain for writing covers both Norwegain and English and has little to do with his ability.

 

Unfortunately having a teacher for a mother means he doesn't get a choice.

 

So at our weekly, warm, fuzzy, let's study English session I decided to tackle poetry.

 

What a surprise that turned into!

 

He is surprising good at analyzing a piece of text. He nailed the interpretation on the poem 'Upon a Snail' by John Bunyan (1628-88) - old English and all.

 

I think he actually enjoyed discussing 'The Eagle' by Tennyson too.

 

There is hope:))

 

 

 

So we moved onto producing a piece of poetry. I decided to keep it simple and combine teaching the concept of alliteration with poetry.

 

What surprised me the most is the wealth of his vocabulary (and 1 spelling mistake is not too shabby either;) - remember this is my Norwegain educated boy who only speaks English with his mummy!!

 

So here you go - short and sweet .....

 

Snake

 

Slinky snake

Stupidly stumbling

Spontaniusly slithering

 

Sleepy snake

Slowly slurping

Suddenly stopping.
