00:56 | confused about the difference between a poem and other writing | |
01:00 | . Why is one so small with such short sentences | |
01:03 | , while the others air so long ? My teacher | |
01:06 | asked me to write a poem for a school assignment | |
01:09 | . How could I do it ? You are absolutely | |
01:12 | right , son . However , there are many more | |
01:15 | differences between the various forms of text . Let's start | |
01:18 | with a poem and understand it in detail . If | |
01:23 | you keep on going and never stop , you can | |
01:26 | keep on going . You can make it to the | |
01:28 | top . Life is full of mountains , Some are | |
01:32 | big and some are small . But if you don't | |
01:34 | give up , you can overcome them all . So | |
01:38 | keep on going . Try not to stop . When | |
01:41 | you keep on going , you can make it to | |
01:43 | the top . Wow , Mom , Was that a | |
01:47 | poem ? I wanna learn how to write a poem | |
01:50 | just like that one . Yes , son , that | |
01:53 | was a poem . I'll show you how to write | |
01:55 | a poem . The first element of a poem is | |
01:59 | rhyme . Poems have words that sound similar and appear | |
02:03 | a the end of the line . The rhymes may | |
02:05 | come in lines one after the other or in alternate | |
02:09 | lines . Now let's look at another important element of | |
02:13 | a poem . The stanza Ah , stanza is a | |
02:17 | collection of lines that have a pattern and a rhyme | |
02:20 | . This poem has three stanzas and is highlighted in | |
02:24 | three different colors . Mom , if I write a | |
02:28 | poem with these two elements , will my teacher be | |
02:31 | happy with my assignment ? Of course , son . | |
02:34 | But there is one more important element of a poem | |
02:37 | that you must learn about . Let's look at that | |
02:39 | now . Making comparisons . Making comparisons is achieved by | |
02:43 | using symbols in the poem Don't give up . Life | |
02:48 | is full of mountains means that in our lives we | |
02:51 | may have to face many problems and obstacles . It | |
02:54 | doesn't mean riel mountains . Also , if we keep | |
02:58 | working hard and face the obstacles , we will achieve | |
03:01 | our goal . Just like reaching a mountaintop . Isn't | |
03:05 | that right , son ? Yes , Mom . Even | |
03:08 | if I happen to face problems , I will work | |
03:11 | to achieve my goals . Right now , I'll work | |
03:14 | hard to write a poem on my own . Let's | |
03:17 | complete an exercise to check your understanding of a poem | |
03:21 | . Drag the leaves to the matching basket . Stop | |
03:26 | Small run , Brad . Uh huh . Dad . | |
03:31 | Fine again . Uh huh . That stop job small | |
03:50 | . Ah , fun ! Run that rat again , | |
04:01 | hen . Congratulations . You have collected five stars for | |
04:06 | answering the questions correctly . Are you ready to proceed | |
04:09 | to the next level of writing ? Let's begin . | |
04:13 | Mom is my favorite text . The Happy Prince . | |
04:16 | Also a poem . No , sweetheart The Happy Prince | |
04:20 | as an example of a drama . What is the | |
04:23 | drama ? A drama is written to be performed on | |
04:27 | stage for an audience . It usually consists of dialogue | |
04:31 | between two or more people and at times a description | |
04:34 | of the scene . So how is the happy prince | |
04:38 | of drama ? I'll show what a drama is . | |
04:41 | Let's read . The Happy Prince Son . The Happy | |
04:50 | Prince , by Oscar Wilde , is a very popular | |
04:53 | drama . It starts with a narration or description of | |
04:56 | the play . Narration is used to introduce what's coming | |
05:00 | , and it also sets the context . Let's read | |
05:03 | the narration for this drama to understand Mawr . The | |
05:08 | play is based in an old town where , on | |
05:11 | a tall column stood the statue of the Happy Prince | |
05:14 | . He was gilded all over with thin leaves of | |
05:17 | fine gold for eyes . He had to bright sapphires | |
05:21 | and a large red ruby glowed on his sword hilt | |
05:25 | . Therefore , narration is usually needed to describe the | |
05:28 | setting of a scene , so this means a description | |
05:32 | of what is happening . Yes , you're correct . | |
05:36 | Is the prince alone in the play ? No sweetie | |
05:40 | , their arm or characters in the play . But | |
05:42 | the most important characters are The Happy Prince and the | |
05:45 | Swallow . This is similar to your favorite cartoon , | |
05:49 | Tom and Jerry . There are many characters , but | |
05:52 | the focus of the story is on Tom and Jerry | |
05:56 | , and you know people who play the role of | |
05:58 | characters . Air called actors . Okay , an actor | |
06:03 | is a person that plays different characters . Yes . | |
06:07 | Now let's start reading this drama and bring examples to | |
06:10 | identify other features of a drama . Now listen . | |
06:15 | One night there flew over the city a little swallow | |
06:19 | . It was night , so he alighted just between | |
06:22 | the feet of the happy Prince to rest . Just | |
06:25 | then , a drop of water fell on him . | |
06:28 | He flew up to the face of the statue and | |
06:31 | saw that happy Prince was weeping . The swallow asks | |
06:35 | . Why are you weeping , my prince , the | |
06:38 | prince replies . When I was alive and had a | |
06:41 | human heart , I did not know what tears were | |
06:44 | for . I lived in the palace of Sand Soucy | |
06:47 | , where sorrow is not allowed to enter In the | |
06:49 | daytime , I played with my companions in the garden | |
06:52 | Andan the evening I lead the dance in the great | |
06:54 | hall round . The garden ran a very lofty wall | |
06:57 | , but I never cared to ask what laid beyond | |
06:59 | it . Everything about me was so beautiful . My | |
07:02 | courtiers called me the happy Prince and happy . Indeed | |
07:05 | I waas if pleasure be happiness . So I lived | |
07:08 | and so I died . Now that I am dead | |
07:10 | . They have set me up here so high that | |
07:12 | I can see all the ugliness on all the misery | |
07:15 | of my city . On though my heart is made | |
07:17 | of lead . Yet I cannot choose but weep . | |
07:21 | Did you see the Happy Prince and the swallow we're | |
07:24 | talking ? This is what is called a dialogue . | |
07:29 | Yes , Mom , the Swallow and the Prince are | |
07:31 | talking to each other . Very good . A dialogue | |
07:35 | is a conversation between two or more people in a | |
07:39 | drama . The lines are spoken by characters . For | |
07:42 | example , in The Happy Prince , the lines are | |
07:45 | spoken by the Happy Prince and the swallow . Let's | |
07:49 | see other features of a drama , the prince said | |
07:53 | . Far away in a little street , there is | |
07:55 | a poor house . One of the windows is open | |
07:58 | on through it , I can see a woman seated | |
08:00 | at a table . She is embroidering passion flowers on | |
08:02 | a setting gown for the loveliest of the queen's maid | |
08:05 | of honor toe , where the next court ball in | |
08:08 | a bed in the corner of the room , her | |
08:09 | little boy is lying ill . He has a fever | |
08:11 | and is asking for oranges . His mother has nothing | |
08:14 | to give him but river water . So he is | |
08:16 | crying . Swallow , swallow little swallow . Will you | |
08:19 | not bring her the ruby out of my sword ? | |
08:21 | Hilt ? My feet are fastened to this pedestal that | |
08:23 | I cannot move . The swallow said I am waited | |
08:27 | for in Egypt by my friends . The prince requests | |
08:32 | swallow please help me and the bird agrees to help | |
08:35 | him . So the swallow picked out the great Ruby | |
08:39 | from the Princes sword and flew to give it to | |
08:42 | the woman . She came back to the prince to | |
08:44 | stay for one more night , son in a drama | |
08:49 | there are acts and scenes . Do you know what | |
08:52 | acts and scenes are ? No . I understand what | |
08:56 | you just read , but I don't know the meaning | |
08:59 | of an act or seen an act or seen is | |
09:02 | a smaller section of a drama . For example , | |
09:05 | in the Happy Prince . One act or seen is | |
09:08 | when the swallow is talking to the prince and the | |
09:11 | other act or scene is where the swallow gives the | |
09:13 | ruby to the woman like in a movie . Now | |
09:16 | there are more scenes or acts to come in this | |
09:19 | place . So listen carefully . The next morning , | |
09:22 | the swallow woke up , the swallow says . Today | |
09:26 | I'll go to Egypt , the prince says , Swallow | |
09:30 | , Please stay with me for one more night , | |
09:32 | the swallow says . My friends await me in Egypt | |
09:37 | , the prince says . Far away , across the | |
09:39 | city , I see a young man in a garret | |
09:41 | . He is leaning over a desk covered with papers | |
09:44 | on in a tumbler by his side . There is | |
09:46 | a bunch of withered violets . His hair is brown | |
09:48 | and crisp , and his lips are red is a | |
09:50 | pomegranate . Andi has large , dreamy eyes . He | |
09:53 | is trying to finish a play for the director of | |
09:55 | the theater , but he is too cold to write | |
09:57 | anymore . There is no fire in the grate on | |
09:59 | hunger has made him faint . The swallow says I | |
10:03 | will stay with you one more night . Shall I | |
10:05 | give one ruby to the man ? The prince says | |
10:09 | . Alas , I have no ruby now , my | |
10:11 | eyes , Airil , that I have left . They're | |
10:13 | made of rare sapphires . Pluck out one of them | |
10:15 | and take it to him . The swallow plucks it | |
10:19 | and takes it to the man . Then the swallow | |
10:22 | flies back to the happy prince and sleeps . The | |
10:25 | next morning , the swallow flies to the harbor and | |
10:28 | sets on the mast . The swallow speaks Tonight I | |
10:33 | fly to Egypt . Then the swallow returns back to | |
10:36 | the happy Prince to bid Good bye . The prince | |
10:40 | speaks . Swallow , swallow little swallow . Please stay | |
10:43 | with me one night longer The swallow replies . It | |
10:48 | is winter and the chill snow will soon be here | |
10:51 | in Egypt . The sun is warm on the green | |
10:54 | palm trees and the crocodiles lie in the mud and | |
10:57 | look lazily about Um my companions are waiting for me | |
11:01 | there . The prince speaks in the square below . | |
11:05 | There stands a little match girl . She has let | |
11:08 | her matches fall in the gutter and they are all | |
11:10 | spoiled . Her father will beat her if she does | |
11:12 | not bring home some money . And she is crying | |
11:15 | . She has no shoes or stockings on her little | |
11:17 | head is bare . Pluck out my other eye and | |
11:20 | give it to her that her father will not beat | |
11:22 | her . The swallow replies I will stay with you | |
11:26 | one night longer , but I cannot pluck out your | |
11:29 | eye . You would be quite blind . Then the | |
11:32 | prince says , Swallow , swallow little swallow . Do | |
11:35 | as I command you . So the swallow plucked out | |
11:38 | the princes other eye and darted down with it . | |
11:41 | He swooped past the match girl and slipped the jewels | |
11:45 | into the palm of her hand . Then the swallow | |
11:49 | came back to the prince . The swallow says You | |
11:53 | are blind now , so I will stay with you | |
11:56 | always , the prince replies . No little swallow . | |
12:01 | You must go away to Egypt . The swallow says | |
12:05 | . I will stay with you always . Then the | |
12:09 | swallow slept at the princes feet . The next day | |
12:12 | , he sat on the princes shoulder and told him | |
12:15 | stories of what he had seen in strange lands . | |
12:19 | The prince says , Dear little swallow , you tell | |
12:22 | me of marvelous things . But more marvelous than anything | |
12:24 | is the suffering of men and of women . There | |
12:27 | is no mystery so great as misery . Fly over | |
12:29 | my city , little swallow and tell me what you | |
12:31 | see . There I am covered with fine gold . | |
12:34 | You must take it off , leaf by leaf and | |
12:36 | give it to my poor . The living . Always | |
12:38 | think that gold could make them happy . The swallow | |
12:42 | said goodbye . Dear Prince , the prince replies , | |
12:47 | I'm glad that you are going to Egypt at last | |
12:50 | . Little swallow . You have stayed too long . | |
12:51 | Here the swallow said it is not to Egypt that | |
12:55 | I am going . I am going to the house | |
12:59 | of death . After saying this , the swallow fell | |
13:03 | dead on the princes feet at that moment Ah , | |
13:06 | curious crack sounded inside the statue as if something had | |
13:11 | broken . The fact is that the leaden heart had | |
13:15 | snapped Right into the next day , the statue of | |
13:19 | the prince was pulled down from heaven . The God | |
13:23 | was watching this God said to his angels Bring me | |
13:27 | the two most precious things in the city . The | |
13:31 | angel brought him the leaden heart and the dead bird | |
13:34 | . God said you have rightly chosen for in my | |
13:37 | garden of paradise this little birds will sing forevermore And | |
13:41 | in my city of gold the happy prince shall praise | |
13:44 | me . That was a very nice play . Can | |
13:49 | you tell me more about drama ? Yes , son | |
13:52 | . A drama is performed for an audience . So | |
13:55 | onstage the actors performed the scene and it happens for | |

14:09 | in the happy Prince , Right ? Mom ? Yes | |

16:00 | now . We will read about pros , Son , | |
16:03 | The last form of writing . We will discuss his | |
16:06 | prose . Let's now find out about prose by exploring | |
16:10 | the solar system as an example . Son , Did | |
16:16 | you know prose is another form of writing , apart | |
16:19 | from a poem and a drama ? Oh , is | |
16:23 | it ? Yes , The primary purpose of prose is | |
16:27 | to share information . Let's see how son , you | |
16:32 | have this wonderful lesson on our solar system in your | |
16:35 | book . Let's read it , shall we , son | |
16:44 | ? The book reads The sun . Nine planets , | |
16:47 | satellites and other celestial bodies from the solar system , | |
16:51 | the stars , the planets , the moon and many | |
16:54 | other objects in the sky are called celestial object . | |
16:59 | The objective of this statement was to inform us about | |
17:02 | the solar system . Let's read ahead in the book | |
17:07 | . The sun is the center of the solar system | |
17:09 | . It is huge and is made up of extremely | |
17:13 | hot gasses . The sun is the ultimate source of | |
17:16 | heat and light for the solar system , but that | |
17:19 | tremendous heat is not felt so much by us . | |
17:23 | Because the sun is about 150 million kilometers , or | |
17:27 | 93 million miles away from the Earth , son , | |
17:31 | the word pros comes from a Latin word prosaic , | |
17:35 | meaning straightforward prose . Writing usually has free flowing speech | |
17:40 | . Examples of pros are magazines , books , essays | |
17:44 | and letters . Pros follows standard rules of sentence structure | |
17:49 | . For example , a new article on a tennis | |
17:52 | match is a pros , and it gives us information | |
17:55 | about what happened in the game . You're doing an | |
17:59 | incredible job . Hey , look here . There are | |
18:02 | nine planets in our solar system in order of their | |
18:06 | distance from the sun . They are mercury , Venus | |
18:10 | , earth , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus | |
18:15 | , Neptune and plateau . All the nine planets of | |
18:19 | the solar system move around the sun in fixed paths | |
18:22 | called orbit . Now tell me , do you think | |
18:25 | of prose follows basic grammar rules ? I think so | |
18:31 | . You're right . Pros follows standard rules of grammar | |
18:35 | , punctuation , capitalization and sentence structure . Look how | |
18:40 | all the planet names start with a capital letter . | |
18:44 | Pros is the language of everyday speech . Pros can | |
18:47 | also be a story , either fiction or nonfiction . | |
18:51 | A single sentence is not treated as a single unit | |
18:54 | . Lines are gathered together in paragraphs . Let's now | |
19:02 | complete the final activity on what you just learned about | |
19:05 | pros State . If the following sentences are true or | |
19:09 | false , the main purpose of prose is to give | |
19:12 | information . True , that's correct . Pros does not | |
19:24 | follow any rules of grammar , punctuation , capitalization or | |
19:29 | sentence structure . False . That's correct . Essays and | |
19:42 | letters are examples of prose . True , that's correct | |
