Novel Study Memoir Poem

Today we were working on our second memoir poem for our novel study. Our success criteria was to be really descriptive and make sure that our adjectives and nouns were more than one syllable. To plan this we had to use an ANV (Adjective, Noun, Verb) chart. 

Memoir Poem

The concentration camp was rough enough.

The smoke smelt horrendous, the fence was towering and the food here was basically crumbs.

The powerful creek was streaming and the rusty dirt was crumbling.

The barbed fence was soaring above us.

Weakening jews were stumbling and cruel Nazis were beating the innocent.

Cold-blooded soldiers were gassing.

Weak. Depressed. Scared

Scared for my life.

Novel Study Memoir Poem

Today the class was working on writing a poem on our novel study, I had to do it on my book ´The Boy In Striped Pajamas.´ We did most of the sentences with an ANV (Adjective,Noun,Verb) chart. We had to put a picture in the readers mind of what was actually happening. We had to describe the scene and the situation. 

Memoir Poem 

The new house was significant enough, it had dull concrete walls, a tedious oak tree and a tiny yard.

Hopeless case Gretel was wondering up and down the halls.

The tiresome trees were swaying and there were weak jews wandering in the camp.

There were scary soldiers marching all around the house and dreadful Hitler was gassing. Brainwashed Nazis were banishing the innocent.

Scared. Confused. Worried.

Terrified for my life.
