Classroom Learning
Today we had the wonderful opportunity to listen to a guest, Darcy, who gifted our school with a song. We had the opportunity to learn more about his Blackfoot culture, the importance of oral story telling, and song. In a small group setting, he spoke to us about his drums, and how he makes his sticks. Each student received the opportunity to play on a traditional Blackfoot drum.
Today in Language Arts, we started looking at how Figurative language is used in song lyrics. First we listened to two songs, identifying comparisons, exaggerations, and human features given to inanimate objects. Following this, we looked more closely at definitions and examples of similes, hyperboles, and personification. Students were then provided a copy of the song lyrics, and using a colour code, identified where they found examples of the above Figurative language. We discussed how song lyrics are a type of poetry, and how figurative language is found throughout.
