alicebennett 's review for:
Spider and the Fly
by Mary Howitt
This is a brilliant narrative poem for children to enjoy, I listened to it on YouTube and it's the perfect poem for children to learn and perform. The language and tone is clever because it's really clear what sort of characters the Spider and the Fly are. We would investigate the poet's use of rhyme and how it draws the reader into the poem, much like the Fly is drawn into the Spider's web.
Children could experiment with voices and pitch to bring the characters to life. We could also use music and dance to explore the battle between the spider and the fly, looking at how both characters would move and sounds.
