Review
Group work:
Discuss in groups and share your feelings.
Which poem do you like best? Why?
Does each of the poems we’ve read paint a picture in your mind? Which poem does? What’s the picture?
Personally, I like the nursery rhyme “Hush Little Baby” best. Because it rhymes, has a strong rhythm and is easy to learn and recite.
Nearly all the poems paint pictures in my mind. For example, from poem A, I can see a father gently holding his baby and singing the baby to sleep.
