► ENGLISH - narrative poetry
Narrative means story. A narrative poem is a poem that tells a story.
Many poems don’t have a narrative because they are often just about thoughts and feelings, instead of a story!
STEP 1:
Click on the link below and do the LEARN section only, then RETURN here...
STEP 2:
Let's check what we have learnt...
Features of a narrative poem
-
In a narrative poem, a story is told, but rhythm and rhyme are used.
-
Rhythm and rhyme give the narrative in the poem energy to make it exciting.
-
Some narrative poems also contain repetition to add rhythm and make it more predictable.
Stanzas
Poems are made up of stanzas. A stanza is a group of lines within a poem, similar to a paragraph.
Features of a stanza
-
Just like a paragraph, they contain related information and introduce new thoughts or ideas.
-
Poems can contain a number of stanzas. They are separated by skipping a line.
-
Like all poems, stanzas can rhyme, but they do not have to.

On your second watch - make notes about:
- what you enjoyed

- examples of rhyming
- examples of onomatopoeia
ACTIVITY 2:
It's time to have a go at writing your own narrative poem!
It's time to have a go at writing your own narrative poem!
Remember:
-
A narrative poem tells a story, but it has rhythm, rhyme and repetition – just like a poem.
-
It’s ok to make mistakes! Experimenting with words, editing and redrafting are all part of the writing process!
-
Separate each new idea within your poem by using stanzas.
Now you have written it... make sure you perform it to someone
