Did you enjoy the poem?

Did you notice the rhyming words?


12

Words are Ours is a special type of poem as it has the theme of 'collection' it describes a collection of things you can do with words and how we use words in different ways.


13

We are now going to look at a second poem called The Magic Box. It is by Kit Wright and also has the theme of collection.

15

Did you enjoy the poem?

Were there any rhyming words in this poem?


16

The Magic Box is a different type of poem to Words are Ours.The Magic Box doesn't have any rhyming words or patterns. Poems without rhyming words or patterns are called free verse.


17

Let's look at the similarities and differences between the two poems.

What is the main idea?

Does anything repeat?

Are they long or short?

Rhyming or free verse?

Your task today is to write a paragraph explaining which poem you prefer and why. Make sure you talk about the language in the poem as part of your explanation. I have an example for you below.

I prefer ‘Words are Ours’ because of the way that Michael Rosen has used short and punchy lines, with brief noun phrases that rhyme. It makes the words sound spiky and helps them to stand out. It almost has the effect of sounding like a typewriter.
