Answers
Answer:
The Marrog is a fantastic poem by R.C. Scriven that we have been looking at over the last few days . Here are some activities that we used and some that I plan to use with the Marrog as inspiration .
Rhyming words
The children can write a list of all the rhyming words in the poem .
Adjectives
The poem is full of adjectives - get the children to list the adjectives in their Magpie copy or to underline them in the poem .
Art –
Drawing Using the descriptions of the Marrog - draw him .
Writing
Write about your mythical creature using lots of adjectives . ( What's his / her name ? Where does he / she come from , what does he / she look like , what do they eat / drink , where do they live , why are they here ? )
Write a story about what your mythical creature gets up to during the day / when everyone is gone home .
