Today we read about Robert Burns, THE Scottish poet. Here’s another great link about him, from the BBC. After we read and discussed the poem “A Red,Red Rose,” the students had an assignment: write a rhymed poem following the poem’s rhyme scheme of abcb (first two stanzas) abab (last two stanzas) about their portfolio topic.
If the students chose, they could instead a poem with the rhyme scheme of Wordsworth’s poem, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.” The rhyme scheme in that poem is: ababcc (four stanzas)
Their typed rhyming poem is due on Tuesday, April 5th.
