Learning Intention: to Write a Poem Using Opposites

Learning Intention: To write a poem using opposites.

Boiling fever, freezing ice cream Fast firework, slow snail

Bright sun, dark room Sad boy, happy world

Always together, never alone

Above the sky, below the sea

Exciting start, boring ending

Worst chips, best pudding

Busy bee, lazy me

Clean jumper, dirty shoes

First to start, last to finish

Everybody out, nobody home

Poor man, rich woman

Weak kitten, strong lion

Sweet angel, nasty devil Remember my poem, forget my name! Don't forget to use commas! When you have finished, cut it up, re-arrange it, copy it up in best and illustrate it.
