Слайд 34How to write a limerick?
When you write a limerick, make sure
that it has the same AABBA rhyme patern.
Ideas for new limericks can come from almost anywere. For example, your town, country, or any name.
Слайд 35Here are 5 simple steps to writing a limerick.
1.An easy way
to get started is to pick a boy’s or a girl’s name that has one syllable (like Bill, Tim, Dick, Sue or Jill.)
There was a Young Girl named____(pick an easy name with one sillable). We’ll pick “Jill”. So the first line is
“There once was a Young Girl named Jill”
Слайд 36
2. Now make a list of words that rhyme with the
last word in the first line-in this case, Jill.
Your list of rhyming words might include: hill, drill, pill, dill, will, ill.
3. Now wrie the second line. Here’s an example:
“Who feared the sight of a drill.”
Слайд 37
4.Now think of an interesting story. What could happened to someone
skared of a drill?
You might have an interesting story if Jill had to go to the dentist. So the third and fourth lines can be:
“She brushed every day”
“So, her dentist would say”
Слайд 38
Now you need to back to the first line and end
the poem. Here’s an example:
“Your teeth are quite perfekt, Young Jill”
Слайд 39Here’s the poem we just wrote:
There once was a Young
Girl named Jill,
Who was feared the sight of a drill.
She brushed every day
So the denist would say:
“Your teeth are so perfect, Young Jill!”
Слайд 40
There once came feeling called love,
And it sweetly touched my heart
I
felt like an angel
And didn’t think of a danger.
I wish you all know this love!
