What's With Poetry?, Ch 4: Sounds count!

SUBJECTS:  English

YEARS:  5–6, 7–8


In poetry every word, syllable and sound counts!

Poetry is usually much shorter than stories so it is important for a poet to convey as much as possible using as little as possible.

Sounds can be a very powerful tool in expressing mood and emotion when used correctly.

Watch as Matt from the Sydney Story Factory gives examples of different sounds and the moods they convey.
