The tricky part is finding my balance to do the scooting.  The easy part is getting my helmet to fit correctly.  My next step is to scoot and mount.  I've been trying at home, but it's really hard.

Reflection:

I found it easy because I knew most of the answers. I found some of the answers tricky but in the end i figured them out. Next I will do something a bit easier.

My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and the traditional way

for Africans to introduce themselves in a new situation.

IALT write a traditional Praise Poem, to introduce myself to the class.

Success Criteria:

I will explore the subject of African praise poetry,

I will take risks, and use imagery to reveal myself in poetic form.

I will follow the structure of a typical African Praise poem.

I will perform my poem to an audience, maybe using drums.

Structure:

Line 1 -        Introducing myself.

Line 2 –           Introduction to my family and heritage.
Line 3 -        Animal metaphor
Line 4 –         Nature metaphor
Line 5 –         Personality and Qualities
Chorus -           Refrain describing my talents, co-written by my peers.

Reflection :
I learnt that other things also have my kind of personality, which is amazing.
It was hard when I had to think of something thats also the same personality as me.
Next I have to add more detail and interesting words.
