Unit 6 The Market
Unit 12 The Party
Let’s talk Which different features would you expect to find in a poem? Reading Scan the poem. Which features of a poem can you observe? The Party Deep in the forest Late at night Everyone is partying In the moonlight. Monkeys are drumming Hummingbirds are humming,
Slippery snake slithers Swinging to the sound. Blushing Miss Mango Dances the tango, While nuzzling natty Jackfruit In his olive-green suit.
Max the Mongoose Looking most spruce Flies through the air, Whirling and twirling As everyone stares. Snooty Agouti And the frog from France Are boogying together Into a trance. Now the party’s over, Dawn is here. The revellers are leaving, They all disappear. Julia Sander
