Use the skills in a new task
Make a short complete response demonstrating the four skills in this unit. Write four original poem lines about a rainy bus stop. Include a first-person word, one action caused by the rain and one alliterative phrase. Explain how the line form makes it a poem and how the sound phrase differs from rhyme. Longer writing targets in optional extensions can be completed in a later session.
Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.
- Use the form and supplied features, not merely the text’s topic, to choose its genre.
- Find whether the narrator includes themself. Quote the actual word used rather than a character’s separate speech.
- Find the condition in the narration, then connect it to the action the passage actually describes.
- Say the phrase aloud and compare the beginnings of its repeated words. Name the sound, not just the first letter.
Compare with a model response
My four-line poem: I wait beside the rainy gate; / I watch the drops and do not wait / To hear the wet wheels roll and ring; / I step beneath the sheltering wing. I is first person. Rain leads me toward shelter. Wet wheels repeats the beginning /w/ sound, which is alliteration rather than ending rhyme. The four line layout makes this a poem.
A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
