ASSIGNMENT 03
Question 1
Question 1.1. (3 marks)
Identify the type of rhyme used in the poem. Provide a reason and a quotation
from the poem in support of your answer.
The type of rhyme used in the poem is ABCB. This can be seen in the first and third
lines of each stanza, for example, “The moon has a face like the clock in the hall”
and “On streets and field and harbour quays.” The rhyme scheme is consistent
throughout the poem, creating a sense of rhythm and structure.
Question 1.2. (3 marks)
Identify the simile in the poem and explain the effect of this simile.
The simile used in the poem is “The moon has a face like the clock in the hall.” This
simile compares the face of the moon to the face of a clock, emphasizing its round
shape and the idea that it watches over everything, just like a clock does. The effect
, of this simile is to create a vivid image in the reader’s mind and to personify the
moon, making it seem more like a living being.
Question 1.3. (6 marks)
Write a paragraph in which you explain how mimicry may be used to make the
poem come alive for learners. Refer closely to the poem in your discussion. A
mark out of two will be awarded for your language use.
Mimicry can be used to make the poem come alive for learners by encouraging them
to act out or imitate the sounds and movements described in the poem. For example,
students can pretend to be the squalling cat, the squeaking mouse, or the howling
dog, bringing the poem to life through their actions. They can also mimic the actions
of the moon, such as shining on thieves or shining on birdies asleep in the forks of
the trees. By physically embodying the elements of the poem, students can deepen
their understanding and appreciation of the text.
Question 1.4 (8 marks)
Do you consider this poem to be appropriate for a Foundation-phase English

Motivate your answer by identifying and briefly discussing three specific aspects of
the poem that you consider to be appropriate or not appropriate. A mark out of two
will be awarded for your language use.

The use of simple language and vivid imagery makes it accessible to young learners.
