proofreading HALOWEEN POEM
|
|
Hi everyone, would you, please, proofread my poem?
(a witch is saying..)
Batty the bat, Cathy the cat, Ratty the rat, jump into my hat!
Green weeds, pumpkin seeds, boiling hot in my pot.
Abracadabra, spiders a plenty, let �s do some magic and count to twenty!
Any additional ideas? (This ws will be for my 10y olds,1st year of English) Thnx a lot! :) |

Fatty the ghost is around / laughing up the ground / Toads bounce and bounce / and not only once ! // Here and there people shout / but what is it about ? / The headless rider ? / The devilish hunter ? // A skeleton dances / with the toad Gregory / in the cemetery / near the fences //

such a wonderful poem, well done!!!
but maybe - not to confuse your pupils - you should use "Katie" (because Cathy is with a "th"... but if you want to work "a" then katie won �t work because the sound is /ei/)
here �s my very small contribution :) if it can be useful!
"a dog,
some fog
then/and hop a frog"

Wow guys, you �re great! Elojolie - yes, I was going for "a" therefore Cathy ;) and I was in a doubt to use it or not, my son read it Cathy the cath (he used th sound in cat ;) we �ll see how it works :) thnx for the dog part :)
Maryse - thnx a lot! very creative! |

Instead of "a plenty" use either "aplenty" or "a-plenty". Both are correct.

woooow!
thnx redcamaro, this is really great!! Joy - I �ll think about your Cassie idea.. it �s just that I like the way they all end in Y (names), what about Cassy? Is it possible? Bruce - I wasn �t really sure about this, so thanks a lot! You always make my life easier :) Thank you all, you are wonderful! |

I can �t believe no one noticed that Halloween was spelled with only one l. Cathy is good if you want to practice the /Θ/, or unvoiced th sound. |
