E10/ EF7 poem project

l  POEM PROJECT

Pretend you are one of the animals from Animal Farm.  Write a short four-line poem expressing your thoughts or feelings.  The poem can be serious or funny, but it must rhyme.

         

Examples from previous classes:

         

          I hate living on Animal Farm

          The pigs live in the house and I live in the barn
          I'm freezing cold- they're nice and warm

          They get the apples- I get none.

         

AAAA- close rhyme

                   

          I am Napoleon, the big pig boss

          Because I'm clever I'm leader of the farm

                   Have to watch out for those who'll do me harm

          Especially Boxer the big dumb horse
