Today for the summer learning journey I wanted to do the Poetry Slam Step it up for this week. We had to do a Clerihew poem and animate it. I chose to make my poem from scratch. It was about my sister who jammed her finger in the door then had to go to the hospital. I actually wrote about this earlier this year. I have a blog about it, check it here. Don't worry, the doctors have stitched my sister's finger back on so it is still there.
I used scratch to code my clerihew poem and used screencastify to record me saying the poem as well as the code running.
A Clerihew poem only has just a few simple rules: They are four lines long. The first and second lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other. The first line names a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person. They are normally for fun.
I enjoyed making it a bit funnier because it was scary at the time but we can laugh about it now that it is back on. I did not find anything tricky. I thought this task was really fun and I did not find anything tricky.
Thank you for reading my blog. Here is my Clerihew Poem Step it up:
Kia Ora
