In this English poetry lesson led by Ms. Suzanne Camil Neri, students explore the poem “Hello, Hello” by Janet Wong, an American poet known for her children’s books and co-creator of the Poetry Friday Anthology series. The lesson focuses on distinguishing between theme and subject in poetry, and examining literary devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme, poetic license, rhythm, and run-on lines. Students are provided with examples of perfect rhyme (full rhyme) and half rhyme (imperfect or slant rhyme), including explanations of their distinctions and illustrative word pairs.
