  5. Guided Practice: From “The Cloud”- Percy Bysshe Shelley I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. 5 From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, 10 And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. • Underline the words that make up • the internal rhyme. • 2) Circle the words that make up the • slant rhyme. • 3) Assign a rhyme scheme to the right- • hand side of the poem. • 4) Are there any metaphors or similes • present? In what lines? • 5) Is there any personification present? • Explain. Sheltered English

  7. Independent Practice: “Captain Hook”-Shel Silverstein Captain Hook must remember Not to scratch his toes. Captain Hook must watch out And never pick his nose. 5 Captain Hook must be gentle When he shakes your hand.

"I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps.5 My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, 'I've counted sixteen chicken pox And there's one more-- that's seventeen,10 And don't you think that my face looks green? My leg is cut, my eyes are blue-- It might be instamatic flu. I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I'm sure that my left leg is broke-- 15 My hip hurts when I move my chin, My belly button's caving in, My back is wreched, my ankle's sprained, My 'pendix pains each time it rains. My nose is cold, my toes are numb, Sheltered English

  9. I have a sliver in my thumb. My neck is stiff, my spine is weak, I hardly whisper when I speak. My tongue is filling up my mouth, I think my hair is falling out.25 My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight, My temperature is one-o-eight. My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear, There is a hole inside my ear. I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?30 What's that? What's that you say? You say that today is... Saturday?
