I have included some additional worksheets and ideas to help with this. (Obviously work some before.)
To identify syllabic patterns after initial work in this area I have always found this useful. Its a fantastic song and very catchy, in the past I have also had children invent their own song and perform in assembly with great success!
I have included the actual clip featuring this music, as a very short edited video section but do not claim to own the rights to this.
I have included a weekly / unit plan here as an extra with this lesson included, please see my other resource ‘Poems that Create Similes & Metaphors’ for more.
