A collaborative poem written by all of Room 8. This poem expresses our feelings about anger, looking through the eyes of Arlo from ‘Arlo and the Orca’ by Monique Walker.
Anger
Anger feels like letting your rage out.
A clenched fist.
Blood, salty sweat.
Growling and yelling.
Rough and hot.
Like a red face.
Anger smells like danger.
Like air.
Shouting and screaming.
Painful and hurtful.
Madness and crazy actions of destruction.
Like smoke.
Burning coal.
A fire raging and growing limitlessly
Anger is the emotion you want to show or not.
It starts when we get upset about something.
This week Monique and Stacey came to class and presented Monique’s book. We learnt that it’s ok to cry and that life can be moody and stormy with waves of emotion BUT to remember the sun will always come back and shine.
Room 8 thanks Monique and Stacey for sharing their wonderful book and sharing their fun activities with us. We would also like to thank Jessie and Catherine for sharing their beautiful dance with us! We would love to do this again!
