Literacy Homework due Friday, 30th September

Have a look at this boring list poem.

In the blue dream jar you might find:

a parrot,
a butterfly,
the sea,
the sky,
a precious stone,
a gift.




How can you improve it? Maybe you could add some exciting adjectives (gargantuan, ferocious) or some powerful verbs (pounced, erupted). You could include some alliteration (the menacing monster was munching his meaty meal) or a simile (its skin was a cold as ice, it crawled like a snail).

Write your own, improved version of the poem. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    And finally there was a mysterious box covered with blue ribbons. By Arjun
