Our 3rd-5th grade young writers at Benito Juarez Elementary in Richmond, California have been exploring new forms of expression through poetry and personification this fall. Click on each piece to read their fabulous creations!
My Name is (Poems derived from students’ names)
The students personified their favorite food in brilliant, original and funny stories.
Students were given the prompt "If I ruled the world..."
Our young writers hard at work!
While yesterday marked the first official day of summer, some of our young writers have been out of school for weeks and have already experienced the joy that is SUMMER CAMP! Our first on-demand camp this year explored poetry, portraits and personification in San Francisco with teacher Jenny. Enjoy some of their pieces from their week-long camp.
Each camper proudly read her work aloud - this is one of our favorite moments of each "Take My Word For It!" session. Thank you for sharing your work, girls!
This month's creative writing theme is Personification. Just like the simile and metaphor, a personification is a form of figurative language that will add flavor to your writing!
Here's a quick definition:
Personification: giving something (like an object or animal) human-like actions or qualities
ex: The daffodils stood up straighter as the sun warmed them.
Want to try your hand at it? Well we have another challenge for you this month: Come up with a personification to describe an article of clothing...
Our favorite example will win another fabulous word prize! Write your most creative personification and send it along with your name and age to info@takemywordforit.com!
Happy writing!
