Motivation

L.I: To edit our writing using DRAFT.

This week for Writing in pairs we wrote a poem. Before starting the poem we choose a word to use for our poem. Our word was motivation, and we used the 5 senses. The 5 senses are, smell, feel, taste, hear and touch.

In our poem we used complex sentences, metaphor, simile and abstract nouns. To help us write our poem we also used wordhippo to help find other interesting words. We used DRAFT to edit our poem. DRAFT stands for:

Delete

Rearrange

Metaphor A metaphor is a comparison of two things, saying one thing is the other without using ‘like’ or ‘as’.  An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state (you cannot see, hear, touch or smell an abstract noun). The punctuation we used was full stops and commas. Lastly, a simile is comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’.

I enjoyed this activity because we got to create interesting poems.
