ASSIGNMENT 3
QUESTION 1
1.1. Define “poetry” in your own words. (2)
Poetry is a form of artistic expression that encompasses writing, speaking, or performance. Its
primary emphasis lies in the beauty and elegance of language. Typically crafted in verse, poetry
aims to elicit vivid imagery or heartfelt emotions. It employs various literary devices like alliteration
and metaphor extensively. Poetry captures the musicality of words, conveying abstract concepts,
thoughts, and feelings through the medium of language and sound. It can be likened to creating
visual art through the skillful arrangement of words.
1.2. Discuss two benefits of exposing children to nursery rhymes and poems
for children.
Nursery rhymes play a crucial role in facilitating language acquisition and promoting
speech development. They contribute to the development of auditory skills in children,
aiding in the ability to differentiate between sounds and appreciate the musical
aspects of words. Often overlooked, listening comprehension forms a fundamental
skill necessary for learning. Nursery rhymes serve as an excellent introduction to
storytelling, as many of them follow a sequential structure with a clear beginning,
middle, and end. Additionally, these rhymes expand vocabulary and serve as a
delightful introduction to the world of poetry. The repetition of rhymes within poetry
also assists children in recognizing and understanding phonemes, which are the
individual sound units that make up words.
QUESTION 2
2.1. Consider the nursery rhyme below. Which type of rhyme or poem is it?
Give a reason for your answer.
The nursery below is a counting rhyme because the rhyme is repeated and the last
child on the last syllable falls out. These are used as games for children, they help
children count backwards and forward.
