Transcript: Poetry
The name of the show appears in colourful letters on an animated sky. It reads "TVO Kids Power hour of learning. Teacher edition."
The caption changes to "Today's junior lesson: Poetry."
The caption changes to "Junior 4 to 6. Teacher Vickita."
Teacher Vickita is in her twenties, with shoulder length slightly wavy brown hair and wears a black shirt.
In her kitchen, Teacher Vickita says WELCOME TO TVOKIDS POWER HOUR OF LEARNING. HELLO. WELCOME TO POWER HOUR OF LEARNING. MY NAME IS TEACHER VICKITA. BEFORE WE BEGIN, MY FRIEND TEACHER BUSHRA IS GOING TO GET US TO RELAX. RELAXING HELPS US LEARN AND GET INTO A GROWTH MINDSET. TEACHER BUSHRA?
The caption changes to "Junior 4 to 6. Teacher Bushra."
Teacher Bushra is in her twenties, with shoulder-length straight brown hair in a half-do and wears black yoga pants and a lilac sweater.
She sits with her legs crossed on her yoga mat and says HI THERE! IT'S TEACHER BUSHRA HERE, AND I'M GOING TO HELP YOU GET YOUR MINDS AND YOUR BODIES READY TO LEARN WITH TEACHER VICKITA. THE FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO DO IS FIND A SPOT SOMEWHERE CLOSE BY THAT LOOKS COMFORTABLE AND GO TAKE A SEAT. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE MY MAT HERE, I HAVE SOME PILLOWS AROUND ME, AND I'M VERY COMFORTABLE.

YOUR KNEES TO THE GROUND. AND YOUR PALMS DOWN AS WELL. AWESOME. SO, YOU'RE KINDA LOOKING LIKE A DOG RIGHT NOW. ON YOUR FOURS. AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA PUT YOUR TOES TOWARDS THE GROUND, TOUCHING THE GROUND, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA LIFT YOUR KNEES UP, ALL THE WAY UP, PUSH YOUR HIPS TO THE CEILING, PUSH YOUR HEELS TOWARDS THE GROUND, AND PUSH YOUR PALMS AWAY FROM YOU.

SHAKE OUT THE SHOULDERS. AND NOW, YOU'RE READY TO LEARN. THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME! TAKE CARE. BYE, EVERYONE!
Teacher Vickita says THANK YOU, TEACHER BUSHRA. I FEEL READY TO LEARN. FOR THIS LESSON, YOU MAY WANT TO GRAB A NOTEBOOK, A PAPER, AND A PENCIL. OUR BIG IDEA FOR TODAY IS POETRY AND EXPLORING POETIC DEVICES TO HELP US WRITE POEMS.
A caption reads "Poetic devices."
Teacher Vickita says SO, WHAT IS POETRY? POETRY IS A TYPE OF WRITING THAT EXPRESSES IDEAS, FEELINGS, OR TELLS A STORY WITH EMOTION. IT COULD BE ABOUT ANYTHING- FEELINGS, EXPERIENCES, LIFE, FAMILY. THERE ARE TWO GENERAL TYPES OF POEMS- METERED AND FREE VERSE.
The caption changes to "Metered."
Teacher Vickita says METERED POEMS HAVE RHYTHM AND RHYMING WORDS WITH A SPECIFIC STRUCTURE. YOU ALSO MIGHT HAVE SEEN METERED POEMS MORE OFTEN.
The caption changes to "Free verse."
Teacher Vickita says FREE VERSE POEMS, ON THE OTHER HAND, DO NOT FOLLOW A SPECIFIC STRUCTURE. LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A METERED POEM AND A FREE VERSE POEM.
Two poems pops up on the screen.
OKAY, SO I HAVE TWO POEMS HERE- ONE BY SHEL SILVERSTEIN AND ANOTHER BY JOSIE WHITEHEAD. I'M GONNA READ THEM OUT AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHICH POEM IS METERED AND WHICH ONE IS FREE VERSE. OKAY, "EIGHTEEN FLAVORS."
She reads the poem and says "EIGHTEEN LUSCIOUS, SCRUMPTIOUS FLAVORS CHOCOLATE, LIME AND CHERRY, COFFEE, PUMPKIN, FUDGE-BANANA, CARAMEL CREAM AND BOYSENBERRY. ROCKY ROAD AND TOASTED ALMOND, BUTTERSCOTCH, VANILLA DIP, BUTTER-BRICKLE, APPLE RIPPLE, COCONUT AND MOCHA CHIP, BRANDY PEACH AND LEMON CUSTARD, EACH SCOOP LOVELY, SMOOTH, AND ROUND, TALLEST ICE-CREAM CONE IN TOWN, LYING THERE (SNIFF) ON THE GROUND.
She says VERSUS... (READING WHITEHEAD POEM ALOUD)
She reads the other poem and says AUTUMN IS WEARING HER BRIGHT GOLDEN CROWN FOR THIS MORNING SHE'S COMING TO VISIT OUR TOWN, AND WIND, HER BEST FRIEND, WILL BE JOINING HER TOO. WILL THEY HAVE A NICE DAY AND JUST WHAT WILL THEY DO?
Teacher Vickita says SO, WHAT ARE THESE TWO POEMS? A REMINDER THAT A METERED POEM HAS SPECIFIC STRUCTURE AND RHYMING WORDS, WHILST A FREE VERSE DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE RHYMING WORDS OR A STRUCTURE. HMM. WELL? "EIGHTEEN FLAVORS." IS FREE VERSE AND... THE ONE BY JOSIE WHITEHEAD IS METERED. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCES. THIS POEM, THE FREE VERSE POEM, DOESN'T HAVE RHYMING WORDS IN A STRUCTURE, VERSUS THE METERED POEM HAS RHYMING WORDS IN A STRUCTURE. "CROWN" AND "TOWN" AS YOU CAN SEE, FOLLOW A STRUCTURE. FOR THIS LESSON, WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON METERED POETRY VERSUS FREE VERSE POETRY. AS I SAID BEFORE, METERED POETRY HAS RHYTHM AND RHYME. LET'S INVESTIGATE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. RHYTHM IS WHEN WE ORGANIZE WORDS INTO A PATTERN OF STRESSED AND UNSTRESSED SYLLABLES. IN POEMS, WRITERS TRY TO STICK TO A PATTERN OF SYLLABLES THEY USE. SO, IT'S ALL ABOUT SYLLABLES. A SYLLABLE IS A PART OF A WORD THAT CONTAINS SOUNDS. THERE'S A FANCY WORD FOR IT CALLED PHONEMES. IT USUALLY HAS A VOWEL IN IT. A SYLLABLE IS ALSO CALLED A BEAT, AND WE USE THIS IN MUSIC. SO, LET'S TAKE THE WORD "APPLE." "APPLE" HAS TWO SYLLABLES. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS? WELL, WE CAN CLAP IT OUT. "AP-PLE." THE FIRST SYLLABLE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE STRESSED- AKA, PRONOUNCED MORE STRONGLY THAN THE SECOND. THAT'S WHY WE PRONOUNCE THE WORD "AP-PLE." AND NOT "AP-PLE." DO YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE? LET'S TRY A LITTLE BIT MORE.
The caption changes to "Read the word aloud to make it easier to figure out what is stressed and unstressed."
Teacher Vickita says SO, AN EASIER WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS STRESSED AND UNSTRESSED IS WRITING THE WORD OUT, OR WRITING THE SENTENCE OUT. AND AGAIN, IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST SYLLABLE THAT IS STRESSED, WHICH MEANS THAT WE PRONOUNCE IT MORE. WE HAVE A RHYTHM TO IT.
A sentence reads "My mother ate an apple and my father ate a pear."
Teacher Vickita says SO WE GO, "MY MOTH-ER." TWO SYLLABLES, "MOTH-ER." SO, WE PRONOUNCE OR WE STRESS THE FIRST SYLLABLE. "MY MOTH-ER 'ATE'--." ONE SYLLABLE BUT IT'S AFTER AN UNSTRESSED ONE, SO IT HAS TO BE STRESSED. NOTICE HOW THERE'S A PATTERN- UNSTRESSED, STRESSED, UNSTRESSED, STRESSED. UNSTRESSED, STRESSED. UNSTRESSED, AND THEN STRESSED AGAIN. SO, THERE IS A PATTERN TO IT. WHEN YOU WRITE IT DOWN, IT BECOMES EASIER TO FIGURE OUT WHICH SYLLABLES ARE UNSTRESSED AND WHICH SYLLABLES ARE STRESSED. SO, LET'S TRY ANOTHER WAY. "MY MOTHER SENT ME TO THE STORE." WHAT WOULD BE STRESSED AND WHAT WOULD BE UNSTRESSED? WELL, WE ALWAYS START WITH UNSTRESSED.
Syllables "Moth, sent, to, store" appear highlighted.
Teacher Vickita says SO, "MY 'MOTH-ER' "'SENT' ME 'TO' THE 'STORE'." HOW CAN YOU USE WHAT YOU KNOW NOW TO WRITE YOUR WORDS RHYTHMICALLY, OR EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING, HOW CAN YOU SPEAK MORE RHYTHMICALLY? MOVING ON TO RHYME.
Two examples now appear on screen.
Example one reads "I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree."
Example two reads "While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping."
Teacher Vickita says SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES HERE- ONE WHERE THE RHYMING WORDS ARE AT THE END, AND ANOTHER WHERE THE RHYMING WORDS ARE INSIDE THE LINE. LET'S CHECK IT OUT. "I THINK I SHALL NEVER SEE. "A POEM AS LOVELY AS A TREE." WE KNOW THAT "SEE" AND "TREE" RHYME BECAUSE THEY SOUND THE SAME. "WHILE I NODDED, NEARLY NAPPING, "SUDDENLY THERE CAME A TAPPING." WE KNOW THAT "NAPPING." AND "TAPPING" RHYME BECAUSE THEY SOUND THE SAME. BUT THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF RHYME. THERE'S END RHYME, WHERE THE END WORDS RHYME TOGETHER AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, VERSUS INTERNAL RHYME, WHERE THE TWO WORDS ARE INSIDE THE SAME LINE. SO THEY'RE NOT AT THE END. SO, THERE'S END RHYME AND INTERNAL RHYME. LET'S TEST THIS OUT.
A poem by Doctor Seuss reads I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM! I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM-I-AM. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A BOAT, I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A BOAT. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE, I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A MOUSE.
Teacher Vickita says THIS POEM HAS END RHYME. WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE "HAM" AND "AM." RHYME, "BOAT" AND "GOAT." RHYME, "HOUSE" AND "MOUSE." RHYME. WHICH MEANS THAT ALL THE WORDS THAT ARE RHYMING ARE RIGHT AT THE END. LET'S READ OUT THIS POEM BY DR. SEUSS. (READING) SO, WE CAN ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THE RHYME SCHEME OF A POEM. WE JUST HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF DETECTIVES. SO, LET'S PUT OUR DETECTIVE HATS ON. LET'S THINK ABOUT IT. IF "HAM" AND "AM." ARE THE SAME, WE CAN PROBABLY NAME THEM THE SAME WAY TOO. WE USUALLY USE, IN POETRY, LETTERS FROM THE ALPHABET TO SIGNIFY RHYME SCHEME, AND WE ALWAYS START WITH A. SO, I'M GONNA ASSIGN "HAM." AND "AM" THE LETTER A. THEN, "BOAT" AND "GOAT." "BOAT" AND "GOAT" ARE DIFFERENT FROM "HAM" AND "AM," SO I CAN'T NAME THEM A. I'M GONNA NAME THEM... CAN YOU GUESS? B. THEN I MOVE ON TO "HOUSE" AND "MOUSE." THEY DON'T MATCH WITH "BOAT" AND "GOAT," SO I CAN'T NAME THEM B. I'M GONNA NAME THEM C. AND THAT'S YOUR RHYME SCHEME- AA, BB, CC. NOW, IF THE POEM WAS TO GO ON A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND I SAW ANOTHER "HAM" OR "AM." OR ANOTHER WORD THAT RHYMED WITH "HAM" AND "AM," I WOULD ASSIGN THAT LETTER OR THAT WORD THE LETTER A. NOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RHYTHM AND RHYME, HOW DO WE ACTUALLY WRITE POETRY? DID YOU KNOW SONGS THAT WE HEAR ONLINE OR ON THE RADIO ARE CONSIDERED POETRY? WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME HELP FROM THE WACKY WORD SHOW TO GET US COMFORTABLE WITH WRITING. IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW
Zoey plays the ukulele in the attic.
Zoey is in her early teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears red trousers, a printed yellow shirt and a denim jacket.
As colourful animated letters form the name "The Wacky Word Show," a song plays that says IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WORD SHOW. SO WACKY.
Zoey and Lukas dance in the attic.
Lukas is around 11, with short straight brown hair and wears jeans and a gray and greens sweater.
Zoey says IT'S ME ZOEY.
Lukas says I'M LUKAS.
Zoey says WE PLAY WITH WORDS.
In animation, a dictionary walks around the Earth as Lukas and Zoey dance on the Moon.
Lukas says HAVE LOTS OF FUN.
Zoey says ON THE WACKY WORD SHOW FUN IS NUMBER 1.
As they play the ukulele, animate musical notes come out and the word "Fun" appears in colourful animated letters.
Zoey says NOW WE LOVE BOOKS AND STORIES.
Lukas jumps inside a dictionary and Zoey closes it.
Lukas says MAKE STUFF UP THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
Zoey says DID WE MENTION ACTING WACKY?
They both say YEAH WE DO THAT TOO.
Zoey says WE GOT TONS OF GUESTS AND BOOBOO BOT.
Different kids appear on several screens.
Booboo Bot is a robot made out of an old typewriter as the body and a tablet as the head.
Lukas says GAMES AND JOKES WITH YOU.
The song continues IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WORD SHOW. HERE WE GO.
Lukas and Zoey run along with the animated letters.
The song continues THE WACKY WORD SHOW. SO WACKY!
In the attic, Lukas and Zoey wear sunglasses and take pictures of themselves.
Lukas says OH YEAH. WE'RE STARS.
Zoey says WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO BE POP-STARS AND HAVE FANS LISTENING TO YOUR SONGS ALL OVER THE WORLD?
Lukas says INTERNATIONAL SENSATION.
Zoey says WE'VE BEEN DREAMING OF SUPERSTARDOM BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WRITING SOME SONGS.
Playing the Ukele, Zoey sings THROW YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND DANCE ALL DAY AND DREAM LIKE YOU DARE.
Playing tambourine, Lukas sings TO TOUCH THE SKY. WATCH THE STARS MULTIPLY.
Zoey says WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT BUT IT COULD BE A NUMBER 1 HIT.
Lukas says WE COULD BE LYRICAL LEGENDS.
BooBoo Bot says BOOBOO BOT NUMBER 1 FAN.
Zoey says IT'S SO MUCH FUN WRITING SONGS WITH WORDS THAT RHYME OR THAT START WITH THE SAME SOUND. IT'S CALLED WORD PLAY.
Lukas says ANOTHER KIND OF WORD PLAY IS PUNS. WHO DOESN'T LOVE MAKING JOKES WITH WORDS THAT SOUND ALIKE BUT HAVE DIFFERENT MEANINGS? NOT ME. I AM THE PUN KING OR AM I THE PUMPKIN?
A caption reads "Laughter."
BooBoo Bot says CLEVER LUKAS.
Zoey sings TODAY'S SHOW, IT'S GOT THE BEAT.
Lukas sings LIKE A JALAPENO PEPPER IT BRINGS THE HEAT.
Zoey sings WITH WORDS TO PLAY AND SONGS TO SAY.
Lukas sings WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST TODAY.
Zoey says SO LET'S
They yell GO!
An animated slate shows people dancing.
Lukas stands by a TV and says HEY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAND CAN'T PLAY MUSIC?
Kids appear on the TV.
A boy wearing a purple sweater says NO.
BooBoo Bot says ME NEITHER.
Twin sister 1 says NO.
Twin sister 2 says NO. WHAT IS IT?
Lukas says A RUBBER BAD.
Twin sister 1 says OH.
Kids laugh.
BooBoo Bot says VERY FUNNY.
Zoey sits at a desk holding a book.
Zoey says I'M LOOKING UP RHYMING WORDS THAT LUKAS AND I CAN USE IN OUR SONGS. BUT SONGS AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS THAT USE WORD PLAY LIKE RHYMING.
She plays a video on a laptop.
She says LOTS OF STORIES, ESPECIALLY ONES FOR KIDS, USE RHYMING LIKE THE CAT IN THE HAT BY DR. SEUSS. RHYMING STORIES ARE REALLY FUN TO READ. THE GREAT PLAYWRIGHT WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS WRITERS OF ALL TIME, USED LOADS OF PUNS AND RHYMES IN HIS PLAYS.
A picture of Shakespeare says WORD PLAY WAS MY GAME AND EVERYONE KNOWS MY NAME.
BooBoo Bot says BRILLIANT.
Zoey laughs and says SOME PEOPLE THINK SHAKESPEARE EVEN INVENTED THE KNOCK KNOCK JOKE IN HIS PLAY MACBETH OVER 400 YEARS AGO.
In an animation, Shakespeare says HMM. WHAT SHALL THIS CHARACTER SAY? OOH, I KNOW! KNOCK KNOCK. WHO'S THERE?
In off, Figs says FIGS.
Shakespeare says FIGS WHO?
Figs says FIGS THE BROKEN DOORBELL.
Shakespeare says NO, WAIT, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. RRRRR.
In a warehouse, Lukas says WELCOME TO THE WORD PLAY WAREHOUSE.
Zoey says HI. I'M LOOKING FOR SOME WORD PLAY TO PUT IN THE SONG I'M WRITING. COULD YOU SHOW ME SOME SAMPLES?
Lukas says SURE. WE'VE GOT YOUR PUNS, YOUR RHYMES, YOUR WACKY WORDS, YOUR CLEVER JOKES, YOUR TWISTY TONGUE TWISTERS AND...
Zoey says OH, I'LL TRY THE WACKY WORDS PLEASE.
Lukas says AISLE 3.
BooBoo Bot says RUN.
Lukas runs to aisle 3.
Zoey says IS THIS THE WACKY WORD SECTION?
Wearing a moustache, Lukas nods and says SNOOPALAGOOP GAZALALOOP.
BooBoo Bot says SO WACKY.
Zoey chuckles and says I'LL TRY A PUN NOW.
Lukas says AISLE 12.
BooBoo Bot says HURRY. WHOA.
Now, Lukas appears out of breath and wearing an orange wig.
Surprised, Zoey looks at him and says I'D LIKE ONE OF YOUR PUNS PLEASE.
Lukas says WHAT DO YOU CALL AN ALLIGATOR IN A VEST? AN IN-VEST-IGATOR.
Zoey chuckles and says GOOD ONE. I LIKE THIS PLACE. HOW ABOUT A TONGUE TWISTER NEXT?
Lukas says THAT'S... THAT'S ALL THE WAY OVER... FINE. AISLE 88.
BooBoo Bot says WHOA! GO FASTER.
Lukas runs to get to aisle 88.
Zoey says UH, YOU'RE...UH...
BooBoo Bot says UH-OH.
Zoey says HOW COME YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WORKING HERE?
Lukas removes the wig and the moustache and says FINE. YOU GOT ME. I'M TRYING TO GET A PROMOTION. MY LAST JOB DIDN'T END TOO WELL.
Zoey says WHAT HAPPENED?
Lukas says I GOT FIRED FROM THE CALENDAR FACTORY. ALL I DID WAS TAKE A DAY OFF.
Zoey laughs.
Now, Lukas stands next to the TV.
Lukas says HEY GUYS. I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
The caption changes to "Tongue Twisters!"
BooBoo Bot says DANGER AHEAD.
Lukas says WHEN YOU USE WORDS THAT START WITH THE SAME SOUND IT'S CALLED ALLITERATION. ALL THOSE SAME SOUNDS CLOSE TOGETHER CAN BE HARD TO SAY. THAT'S WHY ALLITERATION MAKES FUNNY TONGUE TWISTERS. TRY TO SAY THIS FAST.
The caption changes to "Six slippery snails slide slowly."
Lukas says GO!
A boy wearing a white polo-shirt says SIX SIPPERY, SLIPPERY SNAILS SLIDE SLOW SLOWLY.
A boy with a hoodie says SIX SLIPPERY NAILS SIDE SLIDE SLOWLY. SIX SLIPPERY NAILS.
BooBoo Bot says OOPS.
The boy with a hoodie says SNAILS.
A boy with long hair says SIX SIPPERLY, SIP... SLIP...
A boy with a red long sleeved T-shit says SIX SLIPPERLY...
Twin girls say SIX SLIPPERY SLIDES SNAIL...
(gibberish)
The boy wearing a white polo-shirt says SIX SLIPPERY SNAILS SLIDE SLOWLY.
BooBoo Bot says WELL DONE.
In a clip, Zoey sings holding a microphone against an animated background.
Zoey sings ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG. STARTING SENTENCES WITH THE SAME SOUND. FOREVER FINDING BLIPS TO BOP WORDS AROUND. REPETITIVE RAP. READY TO TRY? IT'S SUPER SIMPLE TO SING MY ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG. BETTER BE BOUNCING. BUSTING A BEAT. MAKING MORE MUSIC.
HEY, THAT'S SILLY AND SWEET. BEFORE MY BYE BYE. HEY, WHY DON'T YOU TRY? IT'S SUPER SIMPLE TO SING MY ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. ALLURING. ADORABLE. HEY, SING ALONG. ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG.
Lukas says LET'S TRY THE PETER PIPER TONGUE TWISTER.
The caption changes to "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
A boy with a gray jacket says PETER PACK A PICK, OH. PETER PACK, OH.
A blond boy says A PECK OF PICKLES.
Twin girl 1 says PETER PICKED. PETER PIPER PICKED A PECK OF PICKLES PEPPER?
BooBoo Bot says INCORRECT.
A red-haired girl says PETER PECKER. I GOT IT WRONG.
Twin girl 2 says PIPER PEPPER PICKLE PICKED.
The boy with a red T-shirt says PETER PIPER PICKED A PECK OF PICKLED PEPPERS. YES!
In the attic, Lukas says ZOEY, SAY SIX STICKY SKELETONS 3 TIMES FAST. GO!
Zoey says SIX STICKY SKELETONS. SIX STICKY SKELETONS. SIX STICKY SKELETONS.
The caption changes to "Applause."
Lukas says GREAT JOB. WANNA MEET SOMEONE WHO'S GREAT AT WORD PLAY?
Zoey plays the Ukele and sings SHE RAPS AND SINGS AND WE'RE SO EXCITED.
Lukas sings THAT SHE SAID YES WHEN SHE WAS INVITED.
Zoey says PLEASE WELCOME HUA LI.
Hua Lips is in her mid-twenties with two long black braids and bangs. She wears a black and white top under a lilac coat, a golden necklace and white trousers.
Hua Li raps DON'T HAND ME INDIFFERENCE. HUA LI RUNNING VOCAL SPRINTS. GOT ME BURNING UP LIKE I'M A YOUNG ASIAN RAP ICARUS. MY HUBRIS. I DO THIS. TURN AROUND AND QUOTE CONFUCIOUS. IT'S FRUITLESS. THIS SMOOTHNESS. GUESS MY HUNGER'S JUST THAT RUTHLESS.
Zoey says THAT WAS AMAZING. GOOD JOB.
Lukas says GOOD JOB.
BooBoo Bot says BOOBOO BOT IMPRESSED. YO.
A Hua Li's video clip plays.
Hua Li sings WHERE I COME FROM OR IS IT FLATTERY. I GET SO EASILY CUT DOWN.
Zoey says WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT WRITING A RAP SONG?
Hua Li says WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS IS DEFINITELY RHYMING. IT MAKES THINGS SOUND VERY MUSICAL THAT WE END OUR LINES WITH THE SAME SOUND. SO I'M GONNA COME UP WITH A LINE AND THEN EACH OF YOU COME UP WITH A LINE TO ANSWER. I'M IN THE ATTIC WITH LUKAS AND ZOEY.
Lukas says UNDER THE LAMP, IT SURE IS GLOWY.
Zoey says OUTSIDE MY HOUSE IT'S COLD AND SNOWY.
Hua Li says AMAZING. THE OTHER THING THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BEATS AND RHYTHM.
Hua Li says HOW ARE HEY DIFFERENT?
Lukas says THE BEAT OF A SONG IS STEADY. RIGHT? IT'S LIKE THE PART THAT YOU CAN DANCE TO.
Zoey says YEAH.
Hua Li says OKAY? Clapping, she says ALWAYS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED BUT THEN IF I WAS TO RAP AND ONLY BE ON THE BEAT LIKE, I'M... WITH... LUKAS... AND... ZOEY. IT WOULD BE PRETTY BORING RIGHT?
Zoey says YEAH.
She chuckles.
Hua Li says SO RHYTHM IS WHAT COMES IN IN BETWEEN THE BEATS OR OVER TOP OF THE BEATS TO INTERACT WITH THEM.
In the video clip, Hua Li raps IT AIN'T ANY BETTER. LOOKS LIKE I'M ABOUT TO WRECK HER. APPEAR IN TO HER MIND. TRYING TO FIND MYSELF A SIGN. SHE HASN'T CHANGED WITH TIME SO I SEE WE IN A BIND.
Hua Li says SO LET'S TRY A REALLY SIMPLE RHYTHM WHERE WE'LL DO 2 WORDS OR SYLLABLES PER BEAT. RIGHT? SO IT'LL BE LIKE DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA. Hua Li raps WORDS HAVE GOT US CUCKOO LATELY.
Zoey raps WE'RE ALL SUPER STARS TO BE.
Hua Li says NICE.
Lukas raps HANGING OUT WITH RAPPER HUA LI.
Hua Li says AMAZING.
BooBoo Bot says SUPERSTARS.
Hua Li says YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S A LOT LIKE RHYME IS ALLITERATION. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN COME UP WITH YOUR OWN ALLITERATIVE PHRASES?
Lukas says UM, I THINK I'VE GOT ONE. WILD WATERMELONS WERE WACKY WITH THE WACKY WORD SHOW.
Hua Li says AMAZING AND HERE WE ARE ON THE WACKY WORD SHOW.
Zoey chuckles.
Zoey says OOH, I GOT ONE. CRAZY CATS CLEARLY COMPENSATE CUCKOO CLOCKS.
Hua Li laughs and says I I LOVE IT.
Zoey says DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR LIKE WHAT SONGS WE SHOULD WRITE?
Hua Li says YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR, LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AUTHENTIC. THE MOST SPECIAL THING ABOUT YOU IS YOU.
Zoey says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
Lukas says YEAH.
Hua Li says SO WHEN YOU'RE WRITING SONGS BE YOURSELF AND REPRESENT YOURSELF THE BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN.
Zoey says WE GOT THIS LUKAS.
Lukas says YEAH.
They high-five.
Zoey raps THANKS FOR BEING ON OUR SHOW.
Lukas raps TO SHARE COOL STUFF WE WANT TO KNOW.
Hua Li raps IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HELP YOUR SONGS FLOW.
They dance and high-five.
BooBoo Bot says DANCING MACHINE.
An animated board reads "Game Show."
Contestants stand behind counters.
Wearing a blue wig, Zoey says WELCOME TO CELEBRITY SYLLABLE SCRAMBLE.
The Audience says YAY.
Zoey says SAY HELLO TO AVAH AND NOLA ON TEAM GUITAR. AND JUSTIN AND DANTE ON TEAM DRUMBEAT. HERE'S HOW TO PLAY. I GIVE YOU A CLUE AND YOU GIVE ME THE ANSWER THAT HAS THE CORRECT NUMBER OF SYLLABLES.

Justin says INTO A FLYING INSECT.
Dante says I THINK BUT-TER-FLY.
Justin says OH YEAH, TRUE. BUTTERFLY, YEAH.
Zoey says NO.
Avah and Nola whisper YES!
Zoey says TEAM GUITAR YOU'LL GET A BONUS POINT IF YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT ANSWER WHICH WILL PUT YOU IN THE LEAD.
Nola says LADYBUG?
Zoey says NO. THAT'S NOT IT EITHER.
Justin says YEAH!
Zoey says TEAM GUITAR YOU DIDN'T GET THAT BONUS POINT. I THINK YOU GUYS FORGOT IT'S 4 SYLLABLES. CAT-ER-PIL-LAR. YOU GUYS WERE REALLY CLOSE. TEAM GUITAR, HERE'S YOUR BRAND NEW 4 SYLLABLE WORD. IN THE SUMMER YOU CAN EAT THIS BIG FRUIT AND SPIT OUT THE SEEDS.
Nola says I THINK IT'S A WATERMELON.
Zoey says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. STILL A CLOSE GAME GUYS. READY DRUMBEAT? IT'S GONNA GET HARDER.
The score reads "Guitar: 6 points. Drumbeat: 4 points."
Zoey says 5 SYLLABLES. THIS ENERGY MAKES THINGS LIKE LIGHTS AND TV'S WORK.
Dante says E-LEC-TRIC-I-TY.
Justin says E-LEC-TRIC-I-TY. YEAH.
Zoey says THAT'S RIGHT.
Dante says YES!
Zoey says ALRIGHT, THIS IS THE LAST ONE. TEAM GUITAR, IF YOU GET THIS ONE YOU'LL WIN BUT IF YOU DON'T TEAM DRUMBEAT GETS A CHANCE FOR A BONUS POINT AND THEY COULD WIN. THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL.
Avah says CAF-E-TE-RI-A.
Zoey says YEAH. WOW. THAT'S AMAZING. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. ALRIGHT. TEAM DRUMBEAT GOT 3 ANSWERS CORRECT WHICH MEANS YOU GOT A TOTAL OF 6 POINTS. GOOD JOB. AND TEAM GUITAR YOU GOT 4 QUESTIONS RIGHT SO YOU GOT 8 POINTS. GOOD JOB, YOU WIN. YOU GUYS ARE BOTH STARS. THANKS FOR PLAYING.

A boy with a short black hair says WHAT'S BEETHOVEN'S FAVOURITE FRUIT?
The boy with a red T-shirt says I DON'T KNOW.
The boy with a short black hair says BA-NA-NA-NA.
Kids laugh.
Now, Zoey and Lukas appear in a TV news program, dressed as the hosts.
Zoey says AND NOW OVER TO LARRY O'BARRY FOR YOUR LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST.
Lukas says THANKS LOUISE. DID YOU NOTICE THE BREEZE? A STORM IS COMING. THUNDER IS HUMMING.
Zoey says SO LARRY. SHOULD WE TAKE AN UMBRELLA?

Teacher Vickita says THAT WAS AWESOME! BUT TO WRITE, WE DON'T JUST NEED RHYTHM AND RHYME. WE NEED POETIC DEVICES TO HELP OUR WRITING BECOME MORE IMAGINATIVE AND CREATIVE. THE SIX MOST POPULAR POETIC DEVICES ARE... .SIMILE! A SIMILE IS A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS BY USING THE WORDS "LIKE" OR "AS." SOME EXAMPLES ARE- "HE IS AS TALL AS A GIRAFFE." WE'RE COMPARING THE PERSON TO A GIRAFFE. "AS BRAVE AS A LION." THE PERSON IS AS BRAVE AS A LION. SO, WE'RE COMPARING THE PERSON TO A LION. "THEY FOUGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS." SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU'RE COMPARING TWO THINGS USING THE WORD "LIKE." OR "AS." SIMILE. NEXT WE HAVE METAPHOR. METAPHOR IS VERY SIMILAR TO SIMILES. IT'S A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS, BUT WITHOUT USING THE WORD "LIKE" OR "AS." SO, HOW DOES THAT WORK? SOME EXAMPLES ARE- "THE SNOW IS AS... "IS A WHITE BLANKET." "THE SNOW IS A WHITE BLANKET." SO, YOU'RE DIRECTLY COMPARING IT WITHOUT THE USE OF THE WORD "LIKE" OR "AS." "HE IS A SHINING STAR." "THE WIND IS A HOWLING WOLF TONIGHT." NOTICE YOU'RE COMPARING TWO THINGS WITHOUT THE USE OF "LIKE" OR "AS." THAT'S METAPHOR. NEXT, WE HAVE ONOMATOPOEIA. WHEW! THAT'S A LONG WORD. IT'S A WORD THAT IMITATES SOUND. SO, LET'S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES. "SPLISH," "SPLASH," "POP," "BANG," "BUZZ," "ZING," "ZAP." ALL OF THESE WORDS IMITATE THE SOUND IT REPRESENTS. THAT'S ONOMATOPOEIA. NEXT WE HAVE HYPERBOLE. HYPERBOLE IS AN EXAGGERATED STATEMENT. WE USE THESE ALL THE TIME TO EXPRESS OURSELVES. FOR EXAMPLE, "MY BACKPACK WEIGHS A TONNE." "I WALKED A MILLION MILES TO GET HERE." "SHE RUNS FASTER THAN THE WIND." "I'M SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT A HORSE." THESE ARE ALL STATEMENTS THAT AREN'T TRUE. THEY EXPRESS WHAT YOU FEEL, BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY EXAGGERATED. HYPERBOLE. NEXT WE HAVE PERSONIFICATION. PERSONIFICATION GIVES HUMAN QUALITIES TO ANIMALS OR OBJECTS. EXAMPLES- "THE STARS WINKED AT ME." "LIGHTNING DANCED ACROSS THE SKY." AGAIN, STARS CAN'T WINK AND LIGHTNING DEFINITELY CAN'T DANCE. "MY ALARM CLOCK YELLS AT ME TO GET OUT OF BED." "I HEARD THE LAST SLICE OF PIZZA CALLING MY NAME." NOW, PIZZA CAN'T CALL YOU, BUT IT EXPRESSES WHAT YOU'RE FEELING, AND THAT'S WHY PERSONIFICATION ADDS CREATIVITY TO YOUR WRITING. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST IS REPETITION. REPETITION IS REPEATING THE SAME WORDS OR PHRASES TO MAKE AN IDEA CLEARER AND MORE MEMORABLE. FOR EXAMPLE- "IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT." THE IDEA OF "YOU CAN DO IT." IS REPEATED SO IT EMPOWERS YOU. "LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW." WELL, REPETITION IS USED A LOT IN SONGS AND ALSO USED A LOT IN SPEECHES. HAVE YOU HEARD DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH? IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU SHOULD REALLY SEARCH IT UP. BUT HE USES THE IDEA OF REPETITION TO MAKE A STATEMENT, AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. SO, AGAIN, REPETITION. THOSE ARE THE SIX MOST POPULAR POETIC DEVICES. LET'S PLAY A MATCHING GAME. WE'LL MATCH THE POETIC DEVICES WITH AN EXAMPLE THAT IS PROVIDED. SO, HERE WE HAVE ALL THE POETIC DEVICES WE'VE LEARNT TODAY ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE TO MATCH UP WITH THE POETIC DEVICES. FOR A BIT OF REVIEW, WE HAVE METAPHOR, SIMILE, ONOMATOPOEIA, PERSONIFICATION, REPETITION, AND HYPERBOLE. OKAY. LET'S GET STARTED. (READING FROM TEXT)
Teacher Vickita reads the first example and says "They ran as fast as a cheetah."
She says OKAY. THAT'S DEFINITELY COMPARING TWO THINGS USING "LIKE" OR "AS." SIMILE. (READING SECOND EXAMPLE)
Teacher Vickita says "When he told their story he went on and on and on."
Teacher Vickita says "ON AND ON AND ON." WE'RE REPEATING. IT'S REPETITION! (READING THIRD)
Teacher Vickita says "The broken shows lay sadly by the bin."
Teacher Vickita says WELL, SHOES CAN'T LAY SADLY, SO THAT MUST BE PERSONIFICATION. (READING FOURTH)
Teacher Vickita says "She can hear a pin drop a mile away."
She says THAT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXAGGERATION, DON'T YOU THINK? THAT'S HYPERBOLE.
She reads another example and says "Boom! Bang! Crash! The car halted to a stop."
She says WHOA, THOSE ARE ALL SOUNDS THAT ARE WRITTEN THROUGH LETTERS. HMM. THAT HAS TO BE ONOMATOPOEIA. (READING LAST EXAMPLE)
Teacher Vickita says "This class is golden."
Teacher Vickita says WELL, I'M COMPARING MY CLASS TO GOLD... .WITHOUT USING "LIKE" OR "AS." WELL, IT'S THE LAST ONE. METAPHOR! OKAY. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE GAME. THE NEXT ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS WE'RE GONNA BE CONSOLIDATING ALL OF OUR KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS FAMILIAR LULLABY. "TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR."
The lullaby reads "Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky... Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for our tiny spark."
Teacher Vickita says WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GOING TO UNDERLINE ANY OF THE POETIC DEVICES THAT WE FIND. REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL POETIC DEVICES ARE USED IN EVERY POEM. AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THEIR RHYME SCHEME. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. (READING ALOUD) OKAY. "TWINKLE, TWINKLE." IS REPETITION. AND I SEE "UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH, "'LIKE' A DIAMOND IN THE SKY." I'M USING "LIKE." OR "AS" TO COMPARE, WHICH MEANS THAT I HAVE A SIMILE. I DON'T SEE ANY OF THE OTHER POETIC DEVICES IN THIS POEM OR LULLABY, AND THAT'S FINE, BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE USED. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT RHYME SCHEMES. SO, WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE LAST WORDS OF EVERY LINE, BECAUSE THIS POEM HAS END RHYME. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. "TAR" AND "ARE"- I'VE NAMED THEM AA BECAUSE THEY RHYME. "HIGH" AND "SKY." BB, BECAUSE THEY ALSO RHYME. AND THEN "DARK" AND "SPARK," BECAUSE THEY MATCH. AND IF I SEE ANY OF THESE RHYMING WORDS LATER ON IN THE POEM IF IT CONTINUES, THEN I'LL NAME IT BY THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET. (RAUCOUS BIG BAND JAZZ PLAYING)
(music plays)
A hamster reading a book appears in a circle against a blue slate with the caption "Tumbleweed Presents."
A blue book with the title "Tumbletown Reads" appears. A picture of a street in Tumbletown illustrates the cover.
The book opens and a picture of a castle appears with the name of today's tale: "The Tumbletown poetry jam."
Onstage at a diner, a mouse says UH, IS THIS THING ON? (MIC FEEDBACK SQUEALING) OH, OKAY. UM, MY POEM IS CALLED "WHY I DON'T WEAR SOCKS." (SCATTERED APPLAUSE)
She says THANK YOU. I DON'T WEAR SOCKS. NO SOCKS FOR ME. I WANT MY PAWS TO BE FURRY AND FREE!
Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA!
In the audience, another rodent says WOW, THAT WAS WICKED, MAN! REALLY NICE.
Another rodent says THAT MOUSE SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT SOCKS.
Tumbleweed says I LOVE THAT YOU STARTED A POETRY JAM, BRENT. WHO KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY POETS IN TUMBLETOWN?
Brent says IT'S A BIG HIT, BUDDY! YOU GONNA READ TONIGHT?
Tumbleweed says YOU BET! I'M ON RIGHT AFTER THAT GUY.
On stage, Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA, CHINCHILLA. CHINCHILLA, CHINCHILLA. CHIN-CHILLAH. (APPLAUSE AND WHISTLES) CHINCHILLA!
Tumbleweed says WOW! TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW.
(WHISTLING CONTINUES)
Audience shouts CHINCHILLA! AH, THERE'S MY BOY! GO, FUZZY FACE!
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! OKAY. MY POEM IS CALLED "BROWN FUN FUZZY FACE." (CLEARING THROAT) I HAVE BROWN FUR AND IT KEEPS ME WARM AND I LOVE BROWN FUR AND THIS MORNING I ATE A TACO! (SINGLE COUGH)
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU, TUMBLETOWN!
Later in his car, Tumbleweed says HMM. PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE MY POEM MUCH. I'M GONNA HAVE TO STEP UP MY GAME FOR TOMORROW. (KEYS CLACKING)
At the gazette, Tumbleweed types and says AND, DONE! FINISHED MY WORK. NOW TO WORK ON MY POEM! LET'S SEE. OH- I GOT IT! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT! (CRICKETS CHIRPING, OWL HOOTING)
The following night at the diner, a rodent goes on stage and says THIS NEXT POEM I WROTE WHILE WORKING AT MY FRUIT STAND. IT'S CALLED "STOP EATING THE FREE SAMPLES AND BUY SOMETHING."
A rabbit says DOWN IN FRONT!
On stage, Sal says FREE SAMPLES ARE GOOD. FREE SAMPLES ARE GREAT. BUT HONESTLY, YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP EATING THE FREE SAMPLES. YOU HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING! TRY THE PEACH COBBLER! PEACH COBBLER! (SCATTING) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Audience says YEAH, THAT'S GOOD! WAY TO GO!
Sal says WAIT, I'M NOT DONE... PEACH COBBLER! (APPLAUSE)
Audience says YEAH, MAN! PEACH COBBLER!
Now Tumbleweed goes on stage and says THIS IS PART TWO OF MY POEM, "BROWN FUR FUZZY FACE." (CLEARING THROAT) BROWN FUR FUZZY FACE, DRIVE MY CAR ALL OVER THE PLACE. GIVE ME THE TURTLE SOUP AND MAKE IT SNAPPY! THANK YOU.
A rodent trapped in a booth says HELP, I'M STUCK!
Brent says HEY, TUMBLEWEED! HOW DID IT GO, BUDDY?
Tumbleweed says NOT GOOD! ALL THE OTHER POETS GET CHEERS EXCEPT ME. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Brent says WELL I'M NO EXPERT, BUDDY, BUT I WATCH THE AUDIENCE SO I SEE WHAT THEY LIKE.
Tumbleweed says WELL, DO TELL, DADDY-O.
Brent says WELL, THEY LIKE IT WHEN YOU MAKE 'EM FEEL SOMETHING, BUDDY! TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN YOU'RE READING. READ SOME PARTS SOFTLY, AND OTHER PARTS LOUD!
Tumbleweed says AHH! AH!
Brent says MAKE THE STORY COME ALIVE.
Tumbleweed says WOW! ALL THIS TIME I JUST WANTED NOT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKES. THANKS, BRENT. I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW. BUT CAN I HAVE SOME FOOD NOW?
Brent says SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED.
The following night, Tumbleweed says UH-- AHEM. (WITH PASSION) BROWN FUR! FUZZY FACE. DRIVE MY CAR, ALL OVER THE PLACE. GIVE ME THE TURTLE SOUP, AND MAKE IT... (WHISPERING)
SNAPPY. (CHEERING)
Audience says THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! I KNOW HIM! ENCORE! ENCORE!
A rodent says THAT HAMSTER IS SO COOL.
A rabbit says I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY!
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! THANK YOU. NOW, THIS POEM HAS A PART TWO, AND IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. (CLEARING THROAT) I HAVE BROWN FUR! IT KEEPS ME WARM. I LOVE MY BROWN FUR. THIS MORNING, I ATE A TACO.
(CROWD CHEERING AND WHISTLING)
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! THANK YOU, I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK! TRY THE SEED SPECIAL! IT'S REALLY GOOD.

The TVO Kids logo appears on the wooden wall.
Music plays as an animated slate shows a partly cloudy sky with the title "TVO Kids Bookaneers."
As a young woman and a young man fall off of a pirate ship and then climb back into it again, a song says WE ARE AN EMPTY SHIP AND WE EVEN HELP TO SAIL A BOAT BECAUSE WE WERE ALONE.
The young man and woman lie in bed with a skeleton inside the ship.
She says IN THE CAPTAIN'S JOURNAL DID YOU FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CREW?
He says NOT YET. HARD-PACKING BARNACLES.
He says PERHAPS HE'LL WRITE AT THE END.
She says THAT WOULD BE AFTER THE END, HO HO HO HO.
He reads a handwritten note on the journal that says LOSING ME CREW TO THE PIRATE EATING CRABS.
She says BLIMEY. DO YOU THINK THERE WAS A PIRATE WITH CRABS THAT TOOK THE CREW?
He says BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE SKELETON. OH, I WONDER IF THAT PIRATE BE EATING CRABS? HELLO? BOOKANEER, YOU BE EATING CRABS?
A mean-looking pirate ghost appears and says OH YOU GUESSED RIGHT! DID HE MENTION CRABS?
The man says AYE, WE WONDER IF YOU ARE THE PIRATE THAT EATS CRABS?
The ghost says NO, I NEVER EAT THEM CRUSHY BUGS. NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS BOAT.
The woman says DID THE PIRATE WHO ATE THE CRABS TAKE THE CREW?
The ghost says PIRATE YOU ATE CRABS, WHAT ARE YOU BLATHERING ABOUT? ARE YE KNAVES? THERE IS A HUNDRED BETWEEN THE... A HYPHEN BETWEEN PIRATE AND EATING AND THAT'S A LINK SO THE READER KNOWS THEY SHOULD BE SAID AS ONE SO IT'S NOT LOSING ME CREW TO THE PIRATE EATING CRABS BUT LOSING MY CREW TO THE PIRATE-EATING-CRABS.
The woman says PIRATE-EATING-CRABS?
The ghost says AY. TOOK MY ENTIRE CREW.
The woman says PIRATE-EATING-CRABS. I DON'T WANT TO BE EATEN.
The ghost says RELAX THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND NO DOUBT THOSE CRABS BE GHOST.
The man says DO GHOST-CRABS EAT GHOST PIRATES?
The ghost says IT COULD BE!
The man, the woman and the ghost jump up and down on the bed, scared.
The clip ends.
Teacher Vickita says SADLY, IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW. I HOPE YOU HAD FUN LEARNING HOW TO WRITE POETRY WITH POETIC DEVICES. I CHALLENGE YOU TO WRITE SOME POETRY THAT EXPRESSES WHAT YOU'RE FEELING USING POETIC DEVICES. IT CAN EITHER BE FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. POETRY IS ABOUT EXPRESSING YOURSELF, SO I WANT YOU TO DO THAT THIS WEEK. BYE FOR NOW!

Teacher Vickita says THANK YOU, TEACHER BUSHRA. I FEEL READY TO LEARN. FOR THIS LESSON, YOU MAY WANT TO GRAB A NOTEBOOK, A PAPER, AND A PENCIL. OUR BIG IDEA FOR TODAY IS POETRY AND EXPLORING POETIC DEVICES TO HELP US WRITE POEMS.
A caption reads "Poetic devices."
Teacher Vickita says SO, WHAT IS POETRY? POETRY IS A TYPE OF WRITING THAT EXPRESSES IDEAS, FEELINGS, OR TELLS A STORY WITH EMOTION. IT COULD BE ABOUT ANYTHING- FEELINGS, EXPERIENCES, LIFE, FAMILY. THERE ARE TWO GENERAL TYPES OF POEMS- METERED AND FREE VERSE.
The caption changes to "Metered."
Teacher Vickita says METERED POEMS HAVE RHYTHM AND RHYMING WORDS WITH A SPECIFIC STRUCTURE. YOU ALSO MIGHT HAVE SEEN METERED POEMS MORE OFTEN.
The caption changes to "Free verse."
Teacher Vickita says FREE VERSE POEMS, ON THE OTHER HAND, DO NOT FOLLOW A SPECIFIC STRUCTURE. LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A METERED POEM AND A FREE VERSE POEM.
Two poems pops up on the screen.
OKAY, SO I HAVE TWO POEMS HERE- ONE BY SHEL SILVERSTEIN AND ANOTHER BY JOSIE WHITEHEAD. I'M GONNA READ THEM OUT AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHICH POEM IS METERED AND WHICH ONE IS FREE VERSE. OKAY, "EIGHTEEN FLAVORS."
She reads the poem and says "EIGHTEEN LUSCIOUS, SCRUMPTIOUS FLAVORS CHOCOLATE, LIME AND CHERRY, COFFEE, PUMPKIN, FUDGE-BANANA, CARAMEL CREAM AND BOYSENBERRY. ROCKY ROAD AND TOASTED ALMOND, BUTTERSCOTCH, VANILLA DIP, BUTTER-BRICKLE, APPLE RIPPLE, COCONUT AND MOCHA CHIP, BRANDY PEACH AND LEMON CUSTARD, EACH SCOOP LOVELY, SMOOTH, AND ROUND, TALLEST ICE-CREAM CONE IN TOWN, LYING THERE (SNIFF) ON THE GROUND.
She says VERSUS... (READING WHITEHEAD POEM ALOUD)
She reads the other poem and says AUTUMN IS WEARING HER BRIGHT GOLDEN CROWN FOR THIS MORNING SHE'S COMING TO VISIT OUR TOWN, AND WIND, HER BEST FRIEND, WILL BE JOINING HER TOO. WILL THEY HAVE A NICE DAY AND JUST WHAT WILL THEY DO?
Teacher Vickita says SO, WHAT ARE THESE TWO POEMS? A REMINDER THAT A METERED POEM HAS SPECIFIC STRUCTURE AND RHYMING WORDS, WHILST A FREE VERSE DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE RHYMING WORDS OR A STRUCTURE. HMM. WELL? "EIGHTEEN FLAVORS." IS FREE VERSE AND... THE ONE BY JOSIE WHITEHEAD IS METERED. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCES. THIS POEM, THE FREE VERSE POEM, DOESN'T HAVE RHYMING WORDS IN A STRUCTURE, VERSUS THE METERED POEM HAS RHYMING WORDS IN A STRUCTURE. "CROWN" AND "TOWN" AS YOU CAN SEE, FOLLOW A STRUCTURE. FOR THIS LESSON, WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON METERED POETRY VERSUS FREE VERSE POETRY. AS I SAID BEFORE, METERED POETRY HAS RHYTHM AND RHYME. LET'S INVESTIGATE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. RHYTHM IS WHEN WE ORGANIZE WORDS INTO A PATTERN OF STRESSED AND UNSTRESSED SYLLABLES. IN POEMS, WRITERS TRY TO STICK TO A PATTERN OF SYLLABLES THEY USE. SO, IT'S ALL ABOUT SYLLABLES. A SYLLABLE IS A PART OF A WORD THAT CONTAINS SOUNDS. THERE'S A FANCY WORD FOR IT CALLED PHONEMES. IT USUALLY HAS A VOWEL IN IT. A SYLLABLE IS ALSO CALLED A BEAT, AND WE USE THIS IN MUSIC. SO, LET'S TAKE THE WORD "APPLE." "APPLE" HAS TWO SYLLABLES. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS? WELL, WE CAN CLAP IT OUT. "AP-PLE." THE FIRST SYLLABLE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE STRESSED- AKA, PRONOUNCED MORE STRONGLY THAN THE SECOND. THAT'S WHY WE PRONOUNCE THE WORD "AP-PLE." AND NOT "AP-PLE." DO YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE? LET'S TRY A LITTLE BIT MORE.
The caption changes to "Read the word aloud to make it easier to figure out what is stressed and unstressed."
Teacher Vickita says SO, AN EASIER WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS STRESSED AND UNSTRESSED IS WRITING THE WORD OUT, OR WRITING THE SENTENCE OUT. AND AGAIN, IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST SYLLABLE THAT IS STRESSED, WHICH MEANS THAT WE PRONOUNCE IT MORE. WE HAVE A RHYTHM TO IT.
A sentence reads "My mother ate an apple and my father ate a pear."
Teacher Vickita says SO WE GO, "MY MOTH-ER." TWO SYLLABLES, "MOTH-ER." SO, WE PRONOUNCE OR WE STRESS THE FIRST SYLLABLE. "MY MOTH-ER 'ATE'--." ONE SYLLABLE BUT IT'S AFTER AN UNSTRESSED ONE, SO IT HAS TO BE STRESSED. NOTICE HOW THERE'S A PATTERN- UNSTRESSED, STRESSED, UNSTRESSED, STRESSED. UNSTRESSED, STRESSED. UNSTRESSED, AND THEN STRESSED AGAIN. SO, THERE IS A PATTERN TO IT. WHEN YOU WRITE IT DOWN, IT BECOMES EASIER TO FIGURE OUT WHICH SYLLABLES ARE UNSTRESSED AND WHICH SYLLABLES ARE STRESSED. SO, LET'S TRY ANOTHER WAY. "MY MOTHER SENT ME TO THE STORE." WHAT WOULD BE STRESSED AND WHAT WOULD BE UNSTRESSED? WELL, WE ALWAYS START WITH UNSTRESSED.
Syllables "Moth, sent, to, store" appear highlighted.
Teacher Vickita says SO, "MY 'MOTH-ER' "'SENT' ME 'TO' THE 'STORE'." HOW CAN YOU USE WHAT YOU KNOW NOW TO WRITE YOUR WORDS RHYTHMICALLY, OR EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING, HOW CAN YOU SPEAK MORE RHYTHMICALLY? MOVING ON TO RHYME.
Two examples now appear on screen.
Example one reads "I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree."
Example two reads "While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping."
Teacher Vickita says SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES HERE- ONE WHERE THE RHYMING WORDS ARE AT THE END, AND ANOTHER WHERE THE RHYMING WORDS ARE INSIDE THE LINE. LET'S CHECK IT OUT. "I THINK I SHALL NEVER SEE. "A POEM AS LOVELY AS A TREE." WE KNOW THAT "SEE" AND "TREE" RHYME BECAUSE THEY SOUND THE SAME. "WHILE I NODDED, NEARLY NAPPING, "SUDDENLY THERE CAME A TAPPING." WE KNOW THAT "NAPPING." AND "TAPPING" RHYME BECAUSE THEY SOUND THE SAME. BUT THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF RHYME. THERE'S END RHYME, WHERE THE END WORDS RHYME TOGETHER AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, VERSUS INTERNAL RHYME, WHERE THE TWO WORDS ARE INSIDE THE SAME LINE. SO THEY'RE NOT AT THE END. SO, THERE'S END RHYME AND INTERNAL RHYME. LET'S TEST THIS OUT.
A poem by Doctor Seuss reads I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM! I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM-I-AM. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A BOAT, I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A BOAT. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE, I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A MOUSE.
Teacher Vickita says THIS POEM HAS END RHYME. WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE "HAM" AND "AM." RHYME, "BOAT" AND "GOAT." RHYME, "HOUSE" AND "MOUSE." RHYME. WHICH MEANS THAT ALL THE WORDS THAT ARE RHYMING ARE RIGHT AT THE END. LET'S READ OUT THIS POEM BY DR. SEUSS. (READING) SO, WE CAN ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THE RHYME SCHEME OF A POEM. WE JUST HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF DETECTIVES. SO, LET'S PUT OUR DETECTIVE HATS ON. LET'S THINK ABOUT IT. IF "HAM" AND "AM." ARE THE SAME, WE CAN PROBABLY NAME THEM THE SAME WAY TOO. WE USUALLY USE, IN POETRY, LETTERS FROM THE ALPHABET TO SIGNIFY RHYME SCHEME, AND WE ALWAYS START WITH A. SO, I'M GONNA ASSIGN "HAM." AND "AM" THE LETTER A. THEN, "BOAT" AND "GOAT." "BOAT" AND "GOAT" ARE DIFFERENT FROM "HAM" AND "AM," SO I CAN'T NAME THEM A. I'M GONNA NAME THEM... CAN YOU GUESS? B. THEN I MOVE ON TO "HOUSE" AND "MOUSE." THEY DON'T MATCH WITH "BOAT" AND "GOAT," SO I CAN'T NAME THEM B. I'M GONNA NAME THEM C. AND THAT'S YOUR RHYME SCHEME- AA, BB, CC. NOW, IF THE POEM WAS TO GO ON A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND I SAW ANOTHER "HAM" OR "AM." OR ANOTHER WORD THAT RHYMED WITH "HAM" AND "AM," I WOULD ASSIGN THAT LETTER OR THAT WORD THE LETTER A. NOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RHYTHM AND RHYME, HOW DO WE ACTUALLY WRITE POETRY? DID YOU KNOW SONGS THAT WE HEAR ONLINE OR ON THE RADIO ARE CONSIDERED POETRY? WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME HELP FROM THE WACKY WORD SHOW TO GET US COMFORTABLE WITH WRITING. IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW
Zoey plays the ukulele in the attic.
Zoey is in her early teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears red trousers, a printed yellow shirt and a denim jacket.
As colourful animated letters form the name "The Wacky Word Show," a song plays that says IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WORD SHOW. SO WACKY.
Zoey and Lukas dance in the attic.
Lukas is around 11, with short straight brown hair and wears jeans and a gray and greens sweater.
Zoey says IT'S ME ZOEY.
Lukas says I'M LUKAS.
Zoey says WE PLAY WITH WORDS.
In animation, a dictionary walks around the Earth as Lukas and Zoey dance on the Moon.
Lukas says HAVE LOTS OF FUN.
Zoey says ON THE WACKY WORD SHOW FUN IS NUMBER 1.
As they play the ukulele, animate musical notes come out and the word "Fun" appears in colourful animated letters.
Zoey says NOW WE LOVE BOOKS AND STORIES.
Lukas jumps inside a dictionary and Zoey closes it.
Lukas says MAKE STUFF UP THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
Zoey says DID WE MENTION ACTING WACKY?
They both say YEAH WE DO THAT TOO.
Zoey says WE GOT TONS OF GUESTS AND BOOBOO BOT.
Different kids appear on several screens.
Booboo Bot is a robot made out of an old typewriter as the body and a tablet as the head.
Lukas says GAMES AND JOKES WITH YOU.
The song continues IT'S THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WACKY WORD SHOW. THE WACKY WORD SHOW. HERE WE GO.
Lukas and Zoey run along with the animated letters.
The song continues THE WACKY WORD SHOW. SO WACKY!
In the attic, Lukas and Zoey wear sunglasses and take pictures of themselves.
Lukas says OH YEAH. WE'RE STARS.
Zoey says WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO BE POP-STARS AND HAVE FANS LISTENING TO YOUR SONGS ALL OVER THE WORLD?
Lukas says INTERNATIONAL SENSATION.
Zoey says WE'VE BEEN DREAMING OF SUPERSTARDOM BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WRITING SOME SONGS.
Playing the Ukele, Zoey sings THROW YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND DANCE ALL DAY AND DREAM LIKE YOU DARE.
Playing tambourine, Lukas sings TO TOUCH THE SKY. WATCH THE STARS MULTIPLY.
Zoey says WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT BUT IT COULD BE A NUMBER 1 HIT.
Lukas says WE COULD BE LYRICAL LEGENDS.
BooBoo Bot says BOOBOO BOT NUMBER 1 FAN.
Zoey says IT'S SO MUCH FUN WRITING SONGS WITH WORDS THAT RHYME OR THAT START WITH THE SAME SOUND. IT'S CALLED WORD PLAY.
Lukas says ANOTHER KIND OF WORD PLAY IS PUNS. WHO DOESN'T LOVE MAKING JOKES WITH WORDS THAT SOUND ALIKE BUT HAVE DIFFERENT MEANINGS? NOT ME. I AM THE PUN KING OR AM I THE PUMPKIN?
A caption reads "Laughter."
BooBoo Bot says CLEVER LUKAS.
Zoey sings TODAY'S SHOW, IT'S GOT THE BEAT.
Lukas sings LIKE A JALAPENO PEPPER IT BRINGS THE HEAT.
Zoey sings WITH WORDS TO PLAY AND SONGS TO SAY.
Lukas sings WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST TODAY.
Zoey says SO LET'S
They yell GO!
An animated slate shows people dancing.
Lukas stands by a TV and says HEY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF BAND CAN'T PLAY MUSIC?
Kids appear on the TV.
A boy wearing a purple sweater says NO.
BooBoo Bot says ME NEITHER.
Twin sister 1 says NO.
Twin sister 2 says NO. WHAT IS IT?
Lukas says A RUBBER BAD.
Twin sister 1 says OH.
Kids laugh.
BooBoo Bot says VERY FUNNY.
Zoey sits at a desk holding a book.
Zoey says I'M LOOKING UP RHYMING WORDS THAT LUKAS AND I CAN USE IN OUR SONGS. BUT SONGS AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS THAT USE WORD PLAY LIKE RHYMING.
She plays a video on a laptop.
She says LOTS OF STORIES, ESPECIALLY ONES FOR KIDS, USE RHYMING LIKE THE CAT IN THE HAT BY DR. SEUSS. RHYMING STORIES ARE REALLY FUN TO READ. THE GREAT PLAYWRIGHT WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS WRITERS OF ALL TIME, USED LOADS OF PUNS AND RHYMES IN HIS PLAYS.
A picture of Shakespeare says WORD PLAY WAS MY GAME AND EVERYONE KNOWS MY NAME.
BooBoo Bot says BRILLIANT.
Zoey laughs and says SOME PEOPLE THINK SHAKESPEARE EVEN INVENTED THE KNOCK KNOCK JOKE IN HIS PLAY MACBETH OVER 400 YEARS AGO.
In an animation, Shakespeare says HMM. WHAT SHALL THIS CHARACTER SAY? OOH, I KNOW! KNOCK KNOCK. WHO'S THERE?
In off, Figs says FIGS.
Shakespeare says FIGS WHO?
Figs says FIGS THE BROKEN DOORBELL.
Shakespeare says NO, WAIT, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. RRRRR.
In a warehouse, Lukas says WELCOME TO THE WORD PLAY WAREHOUSE.
Zoey says HI. I'M LOOKING FOR SOME WORD PLAY TO PUT IN THE SONG I'M WRITING. COULD YOU SHOW ME SOME SAMPLES?
Lukas says SURE. WE'VE GOT YOUR PUNS, YOUR RHYMES, YOUR WACKY WORDS, YOUR CLEVER JOKES, YOUR TWISTY TONGUE TWISTERS AND...
Zoey says OH, I'LL TRY THE WACKY WORDS PLEASE.
Lukas says AISLE 3.
BooBoo Bot says RUN.
Lukas runs to aisle 3.
Zoey says IS THIS THE WACKY WORD SECTION?
Wearing a moustache, Lukas nods and says SNOOPALAGOOP GAZALALOOP.
BooBoo Bot says SO WACKY.
Zoey chuckles and says I'LL TRY A PUN NOW.
Lukas says AISLE 12.
BooBoo Bot says HURRY. WHOA.
Now, Lukas appears out of breath and wearing an orange wig.
Surprised, Zoey looks at him and says I'D LIKE ONE OF YOUR PUNS PLEASE.
Lukas says WHAT DO YOU CALL AN ALLIGATOR IN A VEST? AN IN-VEST-IGATOR.
Zoey chuckles and says GOOD ONE. I LIKE THIS PLACE. HOW ABOUT A TONGUE TWISTER NEXT?
Lukas says THAT'S... THAT'S ALL THE WAY OVER... FINE. AISLE 88.
BooBoo Bot says WHOA! GO FASTER.
Lukas runs to get to aisle 88.
Zoey says UH, YOU'RE...UH...
BooBoo Bot says UH-OH.
Zoey says HOW COME YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WORKING HERE?
Lukas removes the wig and the moustache and says FINE. YOU GOT ME. I'M TRYING TO GET A PROMOTION. MY LAST JOB DIDN'T END TOO WELL.
Zoey says WHAT HAPPENED?
Lukas says I GOT FIRED FROM THE CALENDAR FACTORY. ALL I DID WAS TAKE A DAY OFF.
Zoey laughs.
Now, Lukas stands next to the TV.
Lukas says HEY GUYS. I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
The caption changes to "Tongue Twisters!"
BooBoo Bot says DANGER AHEAD.
Lukas says WHEN YOU USE WORDS THAT START WITH THE SAME SOUND IT'S CALLED ALLITERATION. ALL THOSE SAME SOUNDS CLOSE TOGETHER CAN BE HARD TO SAY. THAT'S WHY ALLITERATION MAKES FUNNY TONGUE TWISTERS. TRY TO SAY THIS FAST.
The caption changes to "Six slippery snails slide slowly."
Lukas says GO!
A boy wearing a white polo-shirt says SIX SIPPERY, SLIPPERY SNAILS SLIDE SLOW SLOWLY.
A boy with a hoodie says SIX SLIPPERY NAILS SIDE SLIDE SLOWLY. SIX SLIPPERY NAILS.
BooBoo Bot says OOPS.
The boy with a hoodie says SNAILS.
A boy with long hair says SIX SIPPERLY, SIP... SLIP...
A boy with a red long sleeved T-shit says SIX SLIPPERLY...
Twin girls say SIX SLIPPERY SLIDES SNAIL...
(gibberish)
The boy wearing a white polo-shirt says SIX SLIPPERY SNAILS SLIDE SLOWLY.
BooBoo Bot says WELL DONE.
In a clip, Zoey sings holding a microphone against an animated background.
Zoey sings ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG. STARTING SENTENCES WITH THE SAME SOUND. FOREVER FINDING BLIPS TO BOP WORDS AROUND. REPETITIVE RAP. READY TO TRY? IT'S SUPER SIMPLE TO SING MY ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG. BETTER BE BOUNCING. BUSTING A BEAT. MAKING MORE MUSIC.
HEY, THAT'S SILLY AND SWEET. BEFORE MY BYE BYE. HEY, WHY DON'T YOU TRY? IT'S SUPER SIMPLE TO SING MY ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. ALLURING. ADORABLE. HEY, SING ALONG. ALLITERATION SONG. ALLITERATION SONG. A-A-ALLITERATION SONG.
Lukas says LET'S TRY THE PETER PIPER TONGUE TWISTER.
The caption changes to "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
A boy with a gray jacket says PETER PACK A PICK, OH. PETER PACK, OH.
A blond boy says A PECK OF PICKLES.
Twin girl 1 says PETER PICKED. PETER PIPER PICKED A PECK OF PICKLES PEPPER?
BooBoo Bot says INCORRECT.
A red-haired girl says PETER PECKER. I GOT IT WRONG.
Twin girl 2 says PIPER PEPPER PICKLE PICKED.
The boy with a red T-shirt says PETER PIPER PICKED A PECK OF PICKLED PEPPERS. YES!
In the attic, Lukas says ZOEY, SAY SIX STICKY SKELETONS 3 TIMES FAST. GO!
Zoey says SIX STICKY SKELETONS. SIX STICKY SKELETONS. SIX STICKY SKELETONS.
The caption changes to "Applause."
Lukas says GREAT JOB. WANNA MEET SOMEONE WHO'S GREAT AT WORD PLAY?
Zoey plays the Ukele and sings SHE RAPS AND SINGS AND WE'RE SO EXCITED.
Lukas sings THAT SHE SAID YES WHEN SHE WAS INVITED.
Zoey says PLEASE WELCOME HUA LI.
Hua Lips is in her mid-twenties with two long black braids and bangs. She wears a black and white top under a lilac coat, a golden necklace and white trousers.
Hua Li raps DON'T HAND ME INDIFFERENCE. HUA LI RUNNING VOCAL SPRINTS. GOT ME BURNING UP LIKE I'M A YOUNG ASIAN RAP ICARUS. MY HUBRIS. I DO THIS. TURN AROUND AND QUOTE CONFUCIOUS. IT'S FRUITLESS. THIS SMOOTHNESS. GUESS MY HUNGER'S JUST THAT RUTHLESS.
Zoey says THAT WAS AMAZING. GOOD JOB.
Lukas says GOOD JOB.
BooBoo Bot says BOOBOO BOT IMPRESSED. YO.
A Hua Li's video clip plays.
Hua Li sings WHERE I COME FROM OR IS IT FLATTERY. I GET SO EASILY CUT DOWN.
Zoey says WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT WRITING A RAP SONG?
Hua Li says WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS IS DEFINITELY RHYMING. IT MAKES THINGS SOUND VERY MUSICAL THAT WE END OUR LINES WITH THE SAME SOUND. SO I'M GONNA COME UP WITH A LINE AND THEN EACH OF YOU COME UP WITH A LINE TO ANSWER. I'M IN THE ATTIC WITH LUKAS AND ZOEY.
Lukas says UNDER THE LAMP, IT SURE IS GLOWY.
Zoey says OUTSIDE MY HOUSE IT'S COLD AND SNOWY.
Hua Li says AMAZING. THE OTHER THING THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BEATS AND RHYTHM.
Hua Li says HOW ARE HEY DIFFERENT?
Lukas says THE BEAT OF A SONG IS STEADY. RIGHT? IT'S LIKE THE PART THAT YOU CAN DANCE TO.
Zoey says YEAH.
Hua Li says OKAY? Clapping, she says ALWAYS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED BUT THEN IF I WAS TO RAP AND ONLY BE ON THE BEAT LIKE, I'M... WITH... LUKAS... AND... ZOEY. IT WOULD BE PRETTY BORING RIGHT?
Zoey says YEAH.
She chuckles.
Hua Li says SO RHYTHM IS WHAT COMES IN IN BETWEEN THE BEATS OR OVER TOP OF THE BEATS TO INTERACT WITH THEM.
In the video clip, Hua Li raps IT AIN'T ANY BETTER. LOOKS LIKE I'M ABOUT TO WRECK HER. APPEAR IN TO HER MIND. TRYING TO FIND MYSELF A SIGN. SHE HASN'T CHANGED WITH TIME SO I SEE WE IN A BIND.
Hua Li says SO LET'S TRY A REALLY SIMPLE RHYTHM WHERE WE'LL DO 2 WORDS OR SYLLABLES PER BEAT. RIGHT? SO IT'LL BE LIKE DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA. Hua Li raps WORDS HAVE GOT US CUCKOO LATELY.
Zoey raps WE'RE ALL SUPER STARS TO BE.
Hua Li says NICE.
Lukas raps HANGING OUT WITH RAPPER HUA LI.
Hua Li says AMAZING.
BooBoo Bot says SUPERSTARS.
Hua Li says YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S A LOT LIKE RHYME IS ALLITERATION. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN COME UP WITH YOUR OWN ALLITERATIVE PHRASES?
Lukas says UM, I THINK I'VE GOT ONE. WILD WATERMELONS WERE WACKY WITH THE WACKY WORD SHOW.
Hua Li says AMAZING AND HERE WE ARE ON THE WACKY WORD SHOW.
Zoey chuckles.
Zoey says OOH, I GOT ONE. CRAZY CATS CLEARLY COMPENSATE CUCKOO CLOCKS.
Hua Li laughs and says I I LOVE IT.
Zoey says DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR LIKE WHAT SONGS WE SHOULD WRITE?
Hua Li says YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR, LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AUTHENTIC. THE MOST SPECIAL THING ABOUT YOU IS YOU.
Zoey says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
Lukas says YEAH.
Hua Li says SO WHEN YOU'RE WRITING SONGS BE YOURSELF AND REPRESENT YOURSELF THE BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN.
Zoey says WE GOT THIS LUKAS.
Lukas says YEAH.
They high-five.
Zoey raps THANKS FOR BEING ON OUR SHOW.
Lukas raps TO SHARE COOL STUFF WE WANT TO KNOW.
Hua Li raps IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HELP YOUR SONGS FLOW.
They dance and high-five.
BooBoo Bot says DANCING MACHINE.
An animated board reads "Game Show."
Contestants stand behind counters.

Zoey says NO.
Avah and Nola whisper YES!
Zoey says TEAM GUITAR YOU'LL GET A BONUS POINT IF YOU CAN GET THE RIGHT ANSWER WHICH WILL PUT YOU IN THE LEAD.
Nola says LADYBUG?
Zoey says NO. THAT'S NOT IT EITHER.
Justin says YEAH!
Zoey says TEAM GUITAR YOU DIDN'T GET THAT BONUS POINT. I THINK YOU GUYS FORGOT IT'S 4 SYLLABLES. CAT-ER-PIL-LAR. YOU GUYS WERE REALLY CLOSE. TEAM GUITAR, HERE'S YOUR BRAND NEW 4 SYLLABLE WORD. IN THE SUMMER YOU CAN EAT THIS BIG FRUIT AND SPIT OUT THE SEEDS.
Nola says I THINK IT'S A WATERMELON.
Zoey says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. STILL A CLOSE GAME GUYS. READY DRUMBEAT? IT'S GONNA GET HARDER.
The score reads "Guitar: 6 points. Drumbeat: 4 points."
Zoey says 5 SYLLABLES. THIS ENERGY MAKES THINGS LIKE LIGHTS AND TV'S WORK.
Dante says E-LEC-TRIC-I-TY.
Justin says E-LEC-TRIC-I-TY. YEAH.
Zoey says THAT'S RIGHT.
Dante says YES!
Zoey says ALRIGHT, THIS IS THE LAST ONE. TEAM GUITAR, IF YOU GET THIS ONE YOU'LL WIN BUT IF YOU DON'T TEAM DRUMBEAT GETS A CHANCE FOR A BONUS POINT AND THEY COULD WIN. THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL.
Avah says CAF-E-TE-RI-A.

Teacher Vickita says THAT WAS AWESOME! BUT TO WRITE, WE DON'T JUST NEED RHYTHM AND RHYME. WE NEED POETIC DEVICES TO HELP OUR WRITING BECOME MORE IMAGINATIVE AND CREATIVE. THE SIX MOST POPULAR POETIC DEVICES ARE... .SIMILE! A SIMILE IS A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS BY USING THE WORDS "LIKE" OR "AS." SOME EXAMPLES ARE- "HE IS AS TALL AS A GIRAFFE." WE'RE COMPARING THE PERSON TO A GIRAFFE. "AS BRAVE AS A LION." THE PERSON IS AS BRAVE AS A LION. SO, WE'RE COMPARING THE PERSON TO A LION. "THEY FOUGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS." SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU'RE COMPARING TWO THINGS USING THE WORD "LIKE." OR "AS." SIMILE. NEXT WE HAVE METAPHOR. METAPHOR IS VERY SIMILAR TO SIMILES. IT'S A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS, BUT WITHOUT USING THE WORD "LIKE" OR "AS." SO, HOW DOES THAT WORK? SOME EXAMPLES ARE- "THE SNOW IS AS... "IS A WHITE BLANKET." "THE SNOW IS A WHITE BLANKET." SO, YOU'RE DIRECTLY COMPARING IT WITHOUT THE USE OF THE WORD "LIKE" OR "AS." "HE IS A SHINING STAR." "THE WIND IS A HOWLING WOLF TONIGHT." NOTICE YOU'RE COMPARING TWO THINGS WITHOUT THE USE OF "LIKE" OR "AS." THAT'S METAPHOR. NEXT, WE HAVE ONOMATOPOEIA. WHEW! THAT'S A LONG WORD. IT'S A WORD THAT IMITATES SOUND. SO, LET'S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES. "SPLISH," "SPLASH," "POP," "BANG," "BUZZ," "ZING," "ZAP." ALL OF THESE WORDS IMITATE THE SOUND IT REPRESENTS. THAT'S ONOMATOPOEIA. NEXT WE HAVE HYPERBOLE. HYPERBOLE IS AN EXAGGERATED STATEMENT. WE USE THESE ALL THE TIME TO EXPRESS OURSELVES. FOR EXAMPLE, "MY BACKPACK WEIGHS A TONNE." "I WALKED A MILLION MILES TO GET HERE." "SHE RUNS FASTER THAN THE WIND." "I'M SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT A HORSE." THESE ARE ALL STATEMENTS THAT AREN'T TRUE. THEY EXPRESS WHAT YOU FEEL, BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY EXAGGERATED. HYPERBOLE. NEXT WE HAVE PERSONIFICATION. PERSONIFICATION GIVES HUMAN QUALITIES TO ANIMALS OR OBJECTS. EXAMPLES- "THE STARS WINKED AT ME." "LIGHTNING DANCED ACROSS THE SKY." AGAIN, STARS CAN'T WINK AND LIGHTNING DEFINITELY CAN'T DANCE. "MY ALARM CLOCK YELLS AT ME TO GET OUT OF BED." "I HEARD THE LAST SLICE OF PIZZA CALLING MY NAME." NOW, PIZZA CAN'T CALL YOU, BUT IT EXPRESSES WHAT YOU'RE FEELING, AND THAT'S WHY PERSONIFICATION ADDS CREATIVITY TO YOUR WRITING. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST IS REPETITION. REPETITION IS REPEATING THE SAME WORDS OR PHRASES TO MAKE AN IDEA CLEARER AND MORE MEMORABLE. FOR EXAMPLE- "IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT." THE IDEA OF "YOU CAN DO IT." IS REPEATED SO IT EMPOWERS YOU. "LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW." WELL, REPETITION IS USED A LOT IN SONGS AND ALSO USED A LOT IN SPEECHES. HAVE YOU HEARD DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH? IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU SHOULD REALLY SEARCH IT UP. BUT HE USES THE IDEA OF REPETITION TO MAKE A STATEMENT, AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. SO, AGAIN, REPETITION. THOSE ARE THE SIX MOST POPULAR POETIC DEVICES. LET'S PLAY A MATCHING GAME. WE'LL MATCH THE POETIC DEVICES WITH AN EXAMPLE THAT IS PROVIDED. SO, HERE WE HAVE ALL THE POETIC DEVICES WE'VE LEARNT TODAY ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE TO MATCH UP WITH THE POETIC DEVICES. FOR A BIT OF REVIEW, WE HAVE METAPHOR, SIMILE, ONOMATOPOEIA, PERSONIFICATION, REPETITION, AND HYPERBOLE. OKAY. LET'S GET STARTED. (READING FROM TEXT)
Teacher Vickita reads the first example and says "They ran as fast as a cheetah."
She says OKAY. THAT'S DEFINITELY COMPARING TWO THINGS USING "LIKE" OR "AS." SIMILE. (READING SECOND EXAMPLE)
Teacher Vickita says "When he told their story he went on and on and on."
Teacher Vickita says "ON AND ON AND ON." WE'RE REPEATING. IT'S REPETITION! (READING THIRD)
Teacher Vickita says "The broken shows lay sadly by the bin."
Teacher Vickita says WELL, SHOES CAN'T LAY SADLY, SO THAT MUST BE PERSONIFICATION. (READING FOURTH)
Teacher Vickita says "She can hear a pin drop a mile away."
She says THAT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXAGGERATION, DON'T YOU THINK? THAT'S HYPERBOLE.
She reads another example and says "Boom! Bang! Crash! The car halted to a stop."
She says WHOA, THOSE ARE ALL SOUNDS THAT ARE WRITTEN THROUGH LETTERS. HMM. THAT HAS TO BE ONOMATOPOEIA. (READING LAST EXAMPLE)
Teacher Vickita says "This class is golden."
Teacher Vickita says WELL, I'M COMPARING MY CLASS TO GOLD... .WITHOUT USING "LIKE" OR "AS." WELL, IT'S THE LAST ONE. METAPHOR! OKAY. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE GAME. THE NEXT ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS WE'RE GONNA BE CONSOLIDATING ALL OF OUR KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS FAMILIAR LULLABY. "TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR."
The lullaby reads "Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky... Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for our tiny spark."
Teacher Vickita says WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GOING TO UNDERLINE ANY OF THE POETIC DEVICES THAT WE FIND. REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL POETIC DEVICES ARE USED IN EVERY POEM. AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THEIR RHYME SCHEME. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. (READING ALOUD) OKAY. "TWINKLE, TWINKLE." IS REPETITION. AND I SEE "UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH, "'LIKE' A DIAMOND IN THE SKY." I'M USING "LIKE." OR "AS" TO COMPARE, WHICH MEANS THAT I HAVE A SIMILE. I DON'T SEE ANY OF THE OTHER POETIC DEVICES IN THIS POEM OR LULLABY, AND THAT'S FINE, BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE USED. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT RHYME SCHEMES. SO, WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE LAST WORDS OF EVERY LINE, BECAUSE THIS POEM HAS END RHYME. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. "TAR" AND "ARE"- I'VE NAMED THEM AA BECAUSE THEY RHYME. "HIGH" AND "SKY." BB, BECAUSE THEY ALSO RHYME. AND THEN "DARK" AND "SPARK," BECAUSE THEY MATCH. AND IF I SEE ANY OF THESE RHYMING WORDS LATER ON IN THE POEM IF IT CONTINUES, THEN I'LL NAME IT BY THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET. (RAUCOUS BIG BAND JAZZ PLAYING)
(music plays)
A hamster reading a book appears in a circle against a blue slate with the caption "Tumbleweed Presents."
A blue book with the title "Tumbletown Reads" appears. A picture of a street in Tumbletown illustrates the cover.
The book opens and a picture of a castle appears with the name of today's tale: "The Tumbletown poetry jam."
Onstage at a diner, a mouse says UH, IS THIS THING ON? (MIC FEEDBACK SQUEALING) OH, OKAY. UM, MY POEM IS CALLED "WHY I DON'T WEAR SOCKS." (SCATTERED APPLAUSE)
She says THANK YOU. I DON'T WEAR SOCKS. NO SOCKS FOR ME. I WANT MY PAWS TO BE FURRY AND FREE!
Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA!
In the audience, another rodent says WOW, THAT WAS WICKED, MAN! REALLY NICE.
Another rodent says THAT MOUSE SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT SOCKS.
Tumbleweed says I LOVE THAT YOU STARTED A POETRY JAM, BRENT. WHO KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY POETS IN TUMBLETOWN?
Brent says IT'S A BIG HIT, BUDDY! YOU GONNA READ TONIGHT?
Tumbleweed says YOU BET! I'M ON RIGHT AFTER THAT GUY.
On stage, Chinchilla says CHINCHILLA, CHINCHILLA. CHINCHILLA, CHINCHILLA. CHIN-CHILLAH. (APPLAUSE AND WHISTLES) CHINCHILLA!
Tumbleweed says WOW! TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW.
(WHISTLING CONTINUES)
Audience shouts CHINCHILLA! AH, THERE'S MY BOY! GO, FUZZY FACE!
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! OKAY. MY POEM IS CALLED "BROWN FUN FUZZY FACE." (CLEARING THROAT) I HAVE BROWN FUR AND IT KEEPS ME WARM AND I LOVE BROWN FUR AND THIS MORNING I ATE A TACO! (SINGLE COUGH)
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU, TUMBLETOWN!
Later in his car, Tumbleweed says HMM. PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE MY POEM MUCH. I'M GONNA HAVE TO STEP UP MY GAME FOR TOMORROW. (KEYS CLACKING)
At the gazette, Tumbleweed types and says AND, DONE! FINISHED MY WORK. NOW TO WORK ON MY POEM! LET'S SEE. OH- I GOT IT! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT! (CRICKETS CHIRPING, OWL HOOTING)
The following night at the diner, a rodent goes on stage and says THIS NEXT POEM I WROTE WHILE WORKING AT MY FRUIT STAND. IT'S CALLED "STOP EATING THE FREE SAMPLES AND BUY SOMETHING."
A rabbit says DOWN IN FRONT!
On stage, Sal says FREE SAMPLES ARE GOOD. FREE SAMPLES ARE GREAT. BUT HONESTLY, YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP EATING THE FREE SAMPLES. YOU HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING! TRY THE PEACH COBBLER! PEACH COBBLER! (SCATTING) (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Audience says YEAH, THAT'S GOOD! WAY TO GO!
Sal says WAIT, I'M NOT DONE... PEACH COBBLER! (APPLAUSE)
Audience says YEAH, MAN! PEACH COBBLER!
Now Tumbleweed goes on stage and says THIS IS PART TWO OF MY POEM, "BROWN FUR FUZZY FACE." (CLEARING THROAT) BROWN FUR FUZZY FACE, DRIVE MY CAR ALL OVER THE PLACE. GIVE ME THE TURTLE SOUP AND MAKE IT SNAPPY! THANK YOU.
A rodent trapped in a booth says HELP, I'M STUCK!
Brent says HEY, TUMBLEWEED! HOW DID IT GO, BUDDY?
Tumbleweed says NOT GOOD! ALL THE OTHER POETS GET CHEERS EXCEPT ME. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Brent says WELL I'M NO EXPERT, BUDDY, BUT I WATCH THE AUDIENCE SO I SEE WHAT THEY LIKE.
Tumbleweed says WELL, DO TELL, DADDY-O.
Brent says WELL, THEY LIKE IT WHEN YOU MAKE 'EM FEEL SOMETHING, BUDDY! TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN YOU'RE READING. READ SOME PARTS SOFTLY, AND OTHER PARTS LOUD!
Tumbleweed says AHH! AH!
Brent says MAKE THE STORY COME ALIVE.
Tumbleweed says WOW! ALL THIS TIME I JUST WANTED NOT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKES. THANKS, BRENT. I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW. BUT CAN I HAVE SOME FOOD NOW?
Brent says SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED.
The following night, Tumbleweed says UH-- AHEM. (WITH PASSION) BROWN FUR! FUZZY FACE. DRIVE MY CAR, ALL OVER THE PLACE. GIVE ME THE TURTLE SOUP, AND MAKE IT... (WHISPERING)
SNAPPY. (CHEERING)
Audience says THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! I KNOW HIM! ENCORE! ENCORE!
A rodent says THAT HAMSTER IS SO COOL.
A rabbit says I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY!
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! THANK YOU. NOW, THIS POEM HAS A PART TWO, AND IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. (CLEARING THROAT) I HAVE BROWN FUR! IT KEEPS ME WARM. I LOVE MY BROWN FUR. THIS MORNING, I ATE A TACO.
(CROWD CHEERING AND WHISTLING)
Tumbleweed says THANK YOU! THANK YOU, I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK! TRY THE SEED SPECIAL! IT'S REALLY GOOD.

The TVO Kids logo appears on the wooden wall.
Music plays as an animated slate shows a partly cloudy sky with the title "TVO Kids Bookaneers."
As a young woman and a young man fall off of a pirate ship and then climb back into it again, a song says WE ARE AN EMPTY SHIP AND WE EVEN HELP TO SAIL A BOAT BECAUSE WE WERE ALONE.
The young man and woman lie in bed with a skeleton inside the ship.
She says IN THE CAPTAIN'S JOURNAL DID YOU FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CREW?
He says NOT YET. HARD-PACKING BARNACLES.
He says PERHAPS HE'LL WRITE AT THE END.
She says THAT WOULD BE AFTER THE END, HO HO HO HO.
He reads a handwritten note on the journal that says LOSING ME CREW TO THE PIRATE EATING CRABS.
She says BLIMEY. DO YOU THINK THERE WAS A PIRATE WITH CRABS THAT TOOK THE CREW?
He says BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE SKELETON. OH, I WONDER IF THAT PIRATE BE EATING CRABS? HELLO? BOOKANEER, YOU BE EATING CRABS?
A mean-looking pirate ghost appears and says OH YOU GUESSED RIGHT! DID HE MENTION CRABS?
The man says AYE, WE WONDER IF YOU ARE THE PIRATE THAT EATS CRABS?
The ghost says NO, I NEVER EAT THEM CRUSHY BUGS. NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS BOAT.
The woman says DID THE PIRATE WHO ATE THE CRABS TAKE THE CREW?
The ghost says PIRATE YOU ATE CRABS, WHAT ARE YOU BLATHERING ABOUT? ARE YE KNAVES? THERE IS A HUNDRED BETWEEN THE... A HYPHEN BETWEEN PIRATE AND EATING AND THAT'S A LINK SO THE READER KNOWS THEY SHOULD BE SAID AS ONE SO IT'S NOT LOSING ME CREW TO THE PIRATE EATING CRABS BUT LOSING MY CREW TO THE PIRATE-EATING-CRABS.
The woman says PIRATE-EATING-CRABS?
The ghost says AY. TOOK MY ENTIRE CREW.
The woman says PIRATE-EATING-CRABS. I DON'T WANT TO BE EATEN.
The ghost says RELAX THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND NO DOUBT THOSE CRABS BE GHOST.
The man says DO GHOST-CRABS EAT GHOST PIRATES?
The ghost says IT COULD BE!
The man, the woman and the ghost jump up and down on the bed, scared.
The clip ends.
Teacher Vickita says SADLY, IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW. I HOPE YOU HAD FUN LEARNING HOW TO WRITE POETRY WITH POETIC DEVICES. I CHALLENGE YOU TO WRITE SOME POETRY THAT EXPRESSES WHAT YOU'RE FEELING USING POETIC DEVICES. IT CAN EITHER BE FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. POETRY IS ABOUT EXPRESSING YOURSELF, SO I WANT YOU TO DO THAT THIS WEEK. BYE FOR NOW!
Music plays as the end credits roll.
