00:05	Hello , readers . It's Miss Bushman . Have you
00:08	ever been to the library and browsed the shelves of
00:12	books ? I love going to the library . Last
00:16	time I was there , I found so many different
00:19	kinds of books . I found some storybooks or narratives
00:24	. I found some poetry books , and I even
00:28	found some books with plays . Today we are going
00:33	to take a look at how these pieces of writing
00:36	are organized . First , let's look at the poem
00:41	by Carl Sandburg . This poem is called Fog .
00:46	Can you imagine what frog looks like ? Let's read
00:51	the poem together . Fog by Carl Sandburg The fall
00:57	comes on little cat feet . It's it's looking over
01:00	harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on
01:09	. After reading this poem , I can see that
01:12	it is broken up into different units or parts .
01:15	Thes small units are called verses or stands us the
01:20	first verses in Red and the second verses in Blue
01:26	. I also noticed something else about this poem .
01:29	Carl Sandburg uses certain language to help us visualize or
01:33	create images to match the poem . I saw this
01:36	line . The fog comes on little cat feet .
01:41	Do you see that right in the beginning of the
01:43	poem , this sentence is a metaphor . It compares
01:49	fog too little cat feet without using the word like
01:52	her , as this helps me understand that fog creeps
01:57	in quietly like a cat . The words helped me
02:01	create an image in my mind for the poem .
02:07	Something else I know about poetry is that there is
02:10	usually some type of rhythm or beat . You can
02:14	read poetry so that it has a rhythm . Here
02:22	is a different kind of writing . This is a
02:25	passage taken from the story . The Tale of Peter
02:28	Rabbit . This story is about a naughty little rabbit
02:32	who gets caught going into his neighbour's garden . Glatz
02:37	read the first paragraph . Once upon a time ,
02:41	there were four little rabbits , and their names were
02:45	Flopsy mops see Cottontail and Peter . They lived with
02:50	their mother and a sandbank underneath the root of a
02:53	very big fir tree . Now that we've read part
02:57	of the story , let's look carefully at this writing
03:00	to see how it is organized . First , I
03:07	see that this is a story . It has sentences
03:10	organized into paragraphs . Paragraphs are used to divide up
03:15	a story . The paragraphs are in different colors red
03:20	, blue and green . This writing looks a lot
03:24	longer than the poem . I also see that there
03:29	is dialogue or talking in this story at the bottom
03:33	. I see that , Mrs Rabbit says . Now
03:36	run along and don't get into mischief . I am
03:38	going out . Do you see any other lines that
03:42	are dialogue or talking in the story ? Within this
03:51	story , there are characters . I highlighted the characters
03:55	from this passage in red . There is Mrs Rather
03:59	Flopsy mops , See Cottontail and Peter . This is
04:03	different from the poem in the poem . There weren't
04:06	any characters . I also see that the story takes
04:10	place in the woods and that Mr McGregor's Garden is
04:14	an important place . This is the story's setting .
04:19	The last piece of writing I'm going to investigate is
04:23	drama or a play . Plays look much different from
04:27	a poem or a story . Let's take a look
04:30	at the play the three Billy goats I'm going to
04:34	read the first few lines out loud . The three
04:39	Billy goats . Narrator Once upon a time , there
04:44	were three goats . They lived in a little valley
04:48	in the hills . One day they saw a lot
04:51	of grass to eat on the other side of the
04:53	hill , so they decided to go there because they
04:56	were very hungry . Goats walk onto the stage .
05:02	All three goats . We have to go there .
05:06	The grass over there looks greener . Goats point across
05:10	the bridge . Narrator . But to go there ,
05:14	they had to cross a wooden bridge under which an
05:17	ugly troll lived . Middle goat . Come on ,
05:22	let's go now , now that we've read through the
05:29	play , let's look at how it is different from
05:32	a poem and a story first . At the beginning
05:36	, we see the characters in the play . This
05:39	tells us how many people are needed to act in
05:43	the play . I also see that the character's name
05:49	is given and then what they're saying out loud .
05:53	The characters names are in red what they're speaking or
05:58	their dialogue comes After last . I can see that
06:06	there are stage directions within a play . Thes directions
06:11	are highlighted for you and green . Let's look at
06:15	the first line of the narrator and green . It
06:18	says that the goats need to walk on the stage
06:22	. This tells that whoever is acting as the goat
06:25	needs to move on to the stage at this point
06:28	in the story . These lines are not set out
06:32	loud during the play readers . Now you know the
06:37	difference between poetry , narrative and drama .
