Reflections

In this year, I feel that I have learnt many things in LA lessons, and even learnt a new subject: literature!
These are what I learnt this year:
1) Poems
2) Summary
3) Descriptive Writing

Poems 2

This is a poem that I really like a lot.

No One Listens

No one’s listening
From the start
No one’s listening
When you impart
No one’s listening
When you’re smart
No one’s listening
Until you fart

Poems

As we were learning poems this term, I have found some rather interesting poems for all to read.

I have a brief confession
that I would like to make.
If I don’t get it off my chest
I’m sure my heart will break.

I didn’t do my reading.
I watched TV instead—
while munching cookies, cakes, and chips
and cinnamon raisin bread.

I didn’t wash the dishes.
I didn’t clean the mess.
Now there are roaches eating crumbs—
a million, more or less.

I didn’t turn the TV off.
I didn’t shut the light.
Just think of all the energy
I wasted through the night.

I feel so very guilty.
I did a lousy job.
I hope my students don’t find out
that I am such a slob.


Mackenzie put a whoopie cushion on the teacher's chair.
Makayla told the teacher that a bug was in her hair.  Alyssa brought an apple with a purple gummy worm and gave it to the teacher just to see if she would squirm.
Elijah left a piece of plastic dog doo on the floor, and Vincent put some plastic vomit in the teacher's drawer.  Amanda put a goldfish in the teacher's drinking glass.
These April Fool's Day pranks are ones that you could use in class.
Before you go and try them, though, there's something I should mention:
The teacher wasn't fooling when she put us in detention.

The tighty-whity spider went down the waterslide.
Got a water wedgie halfway down the ride.
Jumped up and screamed and ran around in pain.
Now the tighty-whity spider will not do that again.

--Kenn Nesbit


These poems are quite interesting and humorous so hope you will enjoy it!
