Lots of poems having rhyming within them. Often, the rhyme occurs at the end of the line. Commonly, the end of the first and third line rhyme and the end of the second and fourth line rhyme. This is called an ABAB rhyming poem. For example:At the top of a large, bushy treeSat a bird with a broken wing He was trapped and could not break free And so all day long, he did nothing but sing.

Task: Write a poem with two verses. Before you begin to write your poem, you may want to plan using these headings:1. Chosen theme 2. Interesting information about your chosen theme 3. Adjectives 4. Rhyming pairs

When you have finished your poem, choose someone to perform it to.
