eSpark Learning: Identifying Differences in Poetry, Prose, and Drama Instructional Video (4.RL.5) - By esparklearningvideos
00:05 | Hello , readers . It's Miss Bushman . Have you | |
00:08 | ever been to the library and browsed the shelves of | |
00:12 | books ? I love going to the library . Last | |
00:16 | time I was there , I found so many different | |
00:19 | kinds of books . I found some storybooks or narratives | |
00:24 | . I found some poetry books , and I even | |
00:28 | found some books with plays . Today we are going | |
00:33 | to take a look at how these pieces of writing | |
00:36 | are organized . First , let's look at the poem | |
00:41 | by Carl Sandburg . This poem is called Fog . | |
00:46 | Can you imagine what frog looks like ? Let's read | |
00:51 | the poem together . Fog by Carl Sandburg The fall | |
00:57 | comes on little cat feet . It's it's looking over | |
01:00 | harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on | |
01:09 | . After reading this poem , I can see that | |
01:12 | it is broken up into different units or parts . | |
01:15 | Thes small units are called verses or stands us the | |
01:20 | first verses in Red and the second verses in Blue | |
01:26 | . I also noticed something else about this poem . | |
01:29 | Carl Sandburg uses certain language to help us visualize or | |
01:33 | create images to match the poem . I saw this | |
01:36 | line . The fog comes on little cat feet . | |
01:41 | Do you see that right in the beginning of the | |
01:43 | poem , this sentence is a metaphor . It compares | |
01:49 | fog too little cat feet without using the word like | |
01:52 | her , as this helps me understand that fog creeps | |
01:57 | in quietly like a cat . The words helped me | |
02:01 | create an image in my mind for the poem . | |
02:07 | Something else I know about poetry is that there is | |
02:10 | usually some type of rhythm or beat . You can | |
02:14 | read poetry so that it has a rhythm . Here | |
02:22 | is a different kind of writing . This is a | |
02:25 | passage taken from the story . The Tale of Peter | |
02:28 | Rabbit . This story is about a naughty little rabbit | |
02:32 | who gets caught going into his neighbour's garden . Glatz | |
02:37 | read the first paragraph . Once upon a time , | |
02:41 | there were four little rabbits , and their names were | |
02:45 | Flopsy mops see Cottontail and Peter . They lived with | |
02:50 | their mother and a sandbank underneath the root of a | |
02:53 | very big fir tree . Now that we've read part | |
02:57 | of the story , let's look carefully at this writing | |
03:00 | to see how it is organized . First , I | |
03:07 | see that this is a story . It has sentences | |
03:10 | organized into paragraphs . Paragraphs are used to divide up | |
03:15 | a story . The paragraphs are in different colors red | |
03:20 | , blue and green . This writing looks a lot | |
03:24 | longer than the poem . I also see that there | |
03:29 | is dialogue or talking in this story at the bottom | |
03:33 | . I see that , Mrs Rabbit says . Now | |
03:36 | run along and don't get into mischief . I am | |
03:38 | going out . Do you see any other lines that | |
03:42 | are dialogue or talking in the story ? Within this | |
03:51 | story , there are characters . I highlighted the characters | |
03:55 | from this passage in red . There is Mrs Rather | |
03:59 | Flopsy mops , See Cottontail and Peter . This is | |
04:03 | different from the poem in the poem . There weren't | |
04:06 | any characters . I also see that the story takes | |
04:10 | place in the woods and that Mr McGregor's Garden is | |
04:14 | an important place . This is the story's setting . | |
04:19 | The last piece of writing I'm going to investigate is | |
04:23 | drama or a play . Plays look much different from | |
04:27 | a poem or a story . Let's take a look | |
04:30 | at the play the three Billy goats I'm going to | |
04:34 | read the first few lines out loud . The three | |
04:39 | Billy goats . Narrator Once upon a time , there | |
04:44 | were three goats . They lived in a little valley | |
04:48 | in the hills . One day they saw a lot | |
04:51 | of grass to eat on the other side of the | |
04:53 | hill , so they decided to go there because they | |
04:56 | were very hungry . Goats walk onto the stage . | |
05:02 | All three goats . We have to go there . | |
05:06 | The grass over there looks greener . Goats point across | |
05:10 | the bridge . Narrator . But to go there , | |
05:14 | they had to cross a wooden bridge under which an | |
05:17 | ugly troll lived . Middle goat . Come on , | |
05:22 | let's go now , now that we've read through the | |
05:29 | play , let's look at how it is different from | |
05:32 | a poem and a story first . At the beginning | |
05:36 | , we see the characters in the play . This | |
05:39 | tells us how many people are needed to act in | |
05:43 | the play . I also see that the character's name | |
05:49 | is given and then what they're saying out loud . | |
05:53 | The characters names are in red what they're speaking or | |
05:58 | their dialogue comes After last . I can see that | |
06:06 | there are stage directions within a play . Thes directions | |
06:11 | are highlighted for you and green . Let's look at | |
06:15 | the first line of the narrator and green . It | |
06:18 | says that the goats need to walk on the stage | |
06:22 | . This tells that whoever is acting as the goat | |
06:25 | needs to move on to the stage at this point | |
06:28 | in the story . These lines are not set out | |
06:32 | loud during the play readers . Now you know the | |
06:37 | difference between poetry , narrative and drama . |
