Sense Poetry - World War 1

Today we learned what sense poems are. Mr. Murphy showed us some examples on the board.

Our Poetry Wall

Here is an example!

Line 1 : Tell the color of the subject _____________________________
Line 2 : Tell what it looks like _____________________________
Line 3 : Tell what it tastes like ______________________________
Line 4 : Tell what it smells like ______________________________
Line 5 : Tell what it looks like ______________________________
Line 6 : Tell how it makes you feel _____________________________

We wrote a sense poem together on the board to practice.

Then we wrote our own poems based on how World War 1. We had to write about what a soldier would see, hear, taste, smell and feel while living in the trenches. It was a great way to sense how a soldier would live during the war.
