Kennings
Kennings have their origin in Anglo-Saxon Old English poetry. A
kenning is a literary device in which you use two words or a compound
word in a new way to describe a noun, such as "sword bearer"
for warrior
You can make puzzle poems by using several kennings to describe
the same thing. Lots of Kids on the Net writers and schools have
tried it:
Limericks
Limericks are always fun to read and write. Whether you follow
the strict rule or are a bit creative, the important thing is that
they're absurd or funny.
Tall Tales and Fables
Fantastic stories to explain the natural world, tales
of ancient giants and moral fables. These kinds of stories have
a long history and have been written and told in many countries
acorss the world, whether, inspired by the Australian Aboriginal
Dreamtime or tall tales which began in the 1800s as a way for pioneers
to understand the greatness of the America West.
