Poetry Appreciation

We have almost come to the end of our Unit 4 for English. The story for Unit 4 is "The Red Rose". I chanced upon a poem entitled "One Little Sparrow". It has a similar chain effect as the story "The Red Rose" whereby one event leads to another. I thought it would be good to expose the children to as many genre as possible. Hence, I introduced this poem to the children and taught them to do actions which will enhance comprehension. When children had fun with the poem, they will learn to appreciate the beauty of poetry. My hands and legs were involved in the actions. Thus, I was unable to take video of them reciting and acting. Next time, maybe! :)
