What is it ? A kenning is a way of describing something using clues rather than just saying what it is. Each line is two words long. Bible reader Prayer Giver God Follower Heat giver Light maker Tan provider

Next... Think about what the subject does…. • Gives tickets • Takes money • Steers the bus • Follows a route • Drives carefully • Watches the road
Finaly... Compose your poem…. Ticket giver Money taker Wheel turner Route follower Careful Driver Road watcher
