4How the Bumble-Bee Got His Stripes
5How the Bumble-Bee got His Stripes
- On the day that the world began,
- Each of the creatures was shown
- All the colours of the universe
- And all were told to choose
- Which of these they wanted for themselves.
6How the Bumble-Bee got His Stripes
- Well, that day the elephant
- Thought carefully and chose to be grey,
- But the bumble-bee
- Just bumbled around and buzzed around
- And couldnt make up his mind
- And the yellow sun shone so brightly
- That the bumble-bees bum became yellow
7How the Bumble-Bee got His Stripes
- And that night the goldfish
- Thought carefully and chose to be golden,
- But the bumble-bee
- Just bumbled around and buzzed around
- And couldnt make up his mind
- And the black night grew so dark
- That the bumble-bees hips became black.
8How the Bumble-Bee got His Stripes
- And the next day the cricket
- Thought carefully and chose to be green,
- But the bumble-bee
- Just bumbled around and buzzed around
- And couldnt make up his mind,
- And the yellow sun shone so brightly
- That the bumble-bees waist became yellow
9What have you noticed?
- Share your ideas with a partner
- Think about our previous lessons on narrative
poetry
10So what have we noticed ?
- On the day that the world began,
- Each of the creatures was shown
- All the colours of the universe
- And all were told to choose
- Which of these they wanted for themselves
Like a narrative story opening .. this verse
tells the reader who, where, what, when, why
11So what have we noticed ?
- In the first line of each verse a new animal is
introduced - Well, that day the elephant
- And that night the goldfish
- And the next day the cricket
- The passing of time is also shown in the first
line, just as you would when you start a new
paragraph in a story.
12So what have we noticed ?
- To emphasise the bumble-bees behaviour, the poet
uses repetition in each verse. - But the bumble-bee
- Just bumbled around and buzzed around
- And couldnt make up his mind
- This also makes the reader question what might
happen next. Just like in a build up section of a
story.
13So what have we noticed ?
- The passing of time is also shown in each verse
with the alternate use of day and night
The sun makes part of the bumble-bees body
yellow where as the dark sky makes it black
14In your independent work,
- You will write the next verses of How the
Bumble-Bee Got His Stripes with a partner - But first.
- Lets take a closer look at some of the words
within the poem
15Each of these words can be spelt at least one
other way and still sound exactly the same.Can
you think of the other spellings and explain
their meaning?
for
sun
so
waist
night
16Words like these are called HOMOPHONES
- Can you think of any others?
- How about
- there their
- hear here
- threw through
17Now its over to you!
- Write the next verses of How the Bumble-Bee Got
His Stripes with a partner.
- You have approximately 20 minutes
Use the writing frame to help you.
18To finish our lesson
- Lets share an example or two of our narrative
poetry extensions. - And recap what the term homophone means
- Homophones are words with common pronunciation
but different spelling - In tomorrows Literacy lesson, we will read the
real ending of the poem and focus more upon
homophones, this time within sentences.
