This term a big focus for us is creating mood and atmosphere in our writing. One way we can do this is through the words that we choose, so we have been learning about the connotations of words (how different words make us feel or what they make us think of).
We have been calling these purr words (words that have a positive connotation) and snarl words (words that have a negative connotation). Today we also learned about euphony (soft, pleasant sounds) and cacophony (harsh, unpleasant sounds). Our task was to write a 5 line poem using words that would create a strong mood or atmosphere.
Here are some of our poems so far! You can scroll through the Slides to read them.
Which poem is your favourite, and why? Let us know in the comments.
