Poem shared by a peer



Hugo P from 6C brought Roald Dahl's poem collection called Dirty Beasts (1983). It includes nine poems telling of the unusual exploits of unsuspecting animals, except for Tummy Beast which is made up.



Do you remember any other books written by this author? When did you read them? Which one did you enjoy the most?



Click here and read Tummy Beast. Why do you think I chose this poem?

Hello Miss Ale:

I have lots of books from Roald Dahl but the best book that I have is the "Roald Dahl treasury" you can ask Ignacio to bring it to school it has all the books of Roald Dahl including "Dirty Beasts". My opinion about "The tummy beast" is that it nrimes allot and it very funny.

See you tommorow.

Miss Ale,
I have many books by Roald Dahl but I took that one because it was poetry. We read many of the books written by this author in 4th grade. My favourite one is also Roald Dahl treasury because it has all the stories in it.

We made a project in 4 grade that was Roald Dahl and we read lots of books. This poem is very nice as in all the sentences, the next one ryme with the other. It is a nice poem and I like very much the style of the writting of Roald Dahl. This poem I remember I read it in that unit and I like it very much as i like it today. This poem gave me an idea for the next poem i will write.

Miss Ale,
I remember we have read Roald Dahl books in 4º grade with Miss Anne.
As Hugo said my one is Roald Dahl Treasury because it has all the storuies Roald Dahl wrote.
I also remember that there was a box in the class and we needed to get a book, read it, and when we finished it, write the title in a checklist that we had.

This comment is for talking is spanish in class, I still need to write anotherone with another 10 lines long.

Marcos L said...

Miss Ale!
The comment that I wrote just before this one has 9 line but when I typed it I counted very carefuly and it had 10.
I sware I had 10 lines but the letter became smaller!

Hello Miss Ale,

hi miss. ale
In 4th grade we did a project like said andy from Roald Dahl books and we start walking in the hall and the teachers were taking pictures and we did like a modelage, but the party was not all they gave us chocolate of Willy Wonka and the one that get the golden ticket gets a pencil. They were five children that got the golden tiket. But the most important thing is that I loved that unit because we read the giant peach and that one was a very good book.
bye see you tomorrow.

Bianca F said...

Hello Miss Ale,
I've read Roald Dahl's books in forth grada, we had a Roald Dahls day, do you remember?The one I enjoyed the most was The Twits and The BFG.
I think you chose "Tummy Beast" be ause, it is a fantasy poem, I laughed while I read it because the rhymes are very funny, and it repeats "I swear it mommy, there's a person in my tummy."

Mariano P said...

Hi Miss Ale,
I have some books from this author and i also read a lot of these books when i was in 4th and 3rd in my other school in the United States. My school was called Awty. I think i remember some of them but not the name. I was very little and liked a lot those books. Some books i have now are " The Witches", "The Magic Finger",Fantastic Mr.Fox" and more. I liked pretty much "Fantastic Mr.Fox" and i saw the movie. The others i read them, and they were good but i liked more "Fantastic Mr.Fox".
Roald Dahl is a great writer!!!
I stopped reading them when i was 8 ,when i started reading Harry Potter and other intresting books.

I read Conrados comment and i think it was funny because he won the best costume of Roald Dalh. And that his favorite colour was yellow or orange.

Thank you for remembering me about this very known and very liked author!!!Many people read his books!!!
See you tomorow!!!

Miss Ale
I remamber reading a lot of Roald Dahl books, I remember reading them in 4th grade, when we studied Roald Dahl. The one that I remember very good is "Charlie in the Chocolate Factory". As Franco S said it rhymes a lot and its funny.
See You

pilar m said...

I remmember many books of roahl dahl such as: (as marcos and hugo said) roahl dahl Treasury, The BFG, (as fsancisco said)
dirty beasts, the vitches. And many more because we read a lot in 4 grade so I cant remmember ALL the ones that I read. My favourite story was the BFG because I could realise that, besides that giant was very big, it was a very good and friendly giant.

I think that you chose that poem becase it is a fantasy poem and because is very funny, the ending was very funny. Also I could understand that you need to belive in the people if not you could have a very bad surprise, such as faint.

Hi Miss Ale,
Since a long time that I do not comment so here it goes. My favorite book from Roald Dahl was MATILDA, It was great and very fun! I really enjoyed it and I understood every little bit of it! It has a great vocabulary and I think It is great for reading comprehension and to read at school! I have more books written by him like JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH, THE MAGIC FINGER,etc. Still the best one was MATILDA. I think that in fourth grade they read us a book by Roald Dahl and If I am correct it was DIRTY BEATS, or some other one. His stories are great. I love all his rhimes!
Bye see you on are next Language period!

Hi Miss Ale!
We saw Roald Dahl in 4° grade, and we read a lot of his books: The twits, BFG, James and the giant peach, The magic finger (in 3°), Charlie and the chocolate factory and Matilda, (which I so the movie of both), Fantastic Mr. Fox, The minpins, (which I liked very much), and many other books!!
I think you chose it because it's very funny and it rhymes!!
See you!

juanchi t said...

I think you choose it because in 4th we learnt Roal Dahl and the poem its long, you can understand it, it has many rhymes, Hugo brought it and youwanted to shoew it to the class, its kind of a mixture of a story and a poem, it has verbs, good punctuation, it has alot of dialog, it is written in 1st person and you want us to learn all this things to be a better writter and take into acound all this things to be better in language.
