Jack Prelutsky – Poet of the Day!

Tuesday, April 28thNotebook, Address Book, Point, Sketch

Hello Division 8!

Today I’m sharing with you one of the funniest poets that I know…his name is Jack Prelutsky!

  1. Click on the link below and listen to me read aloud the poem, “Louder than a Clap of Thunder” by Jack Prelutsky.

What was your first reaction when you heard this poem? What was your favourite part? Did you like all the describing words he uses in the poem? Were you able to ‘picture the words’ (visualize) in your mind? Please write your comments below!

Jack uses LOTS of describing words in this poem! When you’re done, I want you to create what your mind imagined when you heard me read aloud the poem. Create one moment of the poem either by:

Snoqualmie, Falls, Waterfalls, Seattle

  1. Sculpting – use play-doh or any other 3-d object to make your sculpture
  2. Drawing – Get a piece of paper, markers, pencil crayons and draw ONE moment in the poem.

When you’re done, please take a picture and send it to me at Satpaul.Binng@burnabyschools.ca! Thank you! I can’t wait to see your creations!

Have fun creating today!

Love,

Ms. Binng

  1. Hi miss Binng I liked the part where you said that’s how loud my dad snores and for my picture I am going to draw a bunch of BOOM AND KA BOOMS AND CRASHES and a lot more loud noises

      1. Betu, I want you to pick one favourite part…try listening to the poem again. What was one part that made you smile or laugh? Please share! Thanks!

    1. Hi Elynn, on the schedule you’ll be building your math tower tomorrow! For today you’re drawing or sculpting your poetry response. You’ll also be working on ixl.com! Hope that helps!

  2. My favourite part was the lightning one it was like KA-BOOM BOOM CRASH AND ZZZZZZZZ BANG. The sound was so cool in my mind.

  3. Hi ms: Binng first when heard that poem, I was exited! The funny part was” my dad snorse in the pout, He is going to be so loud in my drawing.”

        1. Hmmm…I’m not sure how I can help you? Maybe do the blog tomorrow and I’ll take a look on my end! Thanks!

  4. My reaction was surprised funnyed (not a word).
    My favourite part was the last part because I didn’t think it was her or his father

    1. Ummm….funnied?!?!

      I love the last part too because I never imagined that it was someone’s dad snoring 🙂

    1. We missed you today at the zoom meeting? Did you listen to the poem or watch Kary’s youtube video? The camera video was for Kary’s genius hour project!

  5. Hi ms Binng. My favorite part was that you told that the man was snoring. And that gave me a connection that my dad snores while he sleeps.

  6. I didn’t get to hear the poem you read,but my dad found it online and read it to me. It made me giggle at the last line

  7. My first reaction was the sounds playing in my head because of the words in the poem it made me happy. My favourite part of the poem was the ending when the father snores because my dad does that too sometimes. I liked all the words in the poem.

  8. My favourite part is 6th line which is water fall because I was thinking about water fall falling slow and it was very beautiful and it was com and super-duper wonderful.
