, Question 1
In your own words explain what a picture book is. (2)
A picture book is a type of book that is designed primarily for young children and
typically includes illustrated pictures on each page along with a minimal amount of
text. The illustrations often play a central role in telling the story and are usually
colorful and visually engaging. Picture books are often used to introduce children to
reading and can cover a wide range of topics and genres.
Question 2
Read the nursery rhyme and look at the accompanying picture before
answering the questions below.
Question 2.1
Explain two benefits of exposing learners to nursery rhymes.(2)
Exposing learners to nursery rhymes can help improve their language and literacy
skills, as they often contain rhythmic patterns and rhyme schemes that can improve
vocabulary and understanding of language. Nursery rhymes can also help with
cognitive development, as they often contain repetitive elements that can help with
memory and learning.
Question 2.2
Name two of poetic elements used in the poem. Give an example of each from
the poem.(4)
Two poetic elements used in the poem are rhyme and imagery. An example of rhyme
can be seen in the lines "You know that something really / gross is" where "is"
rhymes with "halitosis." An example of imagery is found in the lines "If he roars on a
windy day / You smell his breath three miles away!" which creates a vivid mental
image for the reader.
Question 2.3
Explain how the text and the image work together to convey the meaning of
the poem. Provide a reason for your answer(2
The text and the image work together to convey the meaning of the poem by
providing a visual representation of the gross lion with bad breath. The image of the
lion with its mouth open and the stench wafting towards a group of animals helps to
bring the words of the poem to life and make the concept of the gross lion more
tangible for the reader. This visual representation enhances the impact of the poem
and makes it more memorable for the reader.
