Jeffrey and Fricy

Jeff

A haiku poem written by Josh

Jeffrey is a pig

He eats a lot of tall grass

Boom bam.  There goes Jeff

In the poem below, Andrew includes several imaginary words that he created to add to the mood of his writing.  The students were encouraged to use the portmanteau technique to combine two words to create a new one that would catch the interest of the reader.  See if you can figure out which words Andrew used in his poem.

Fricy 

by Andrew J.

In a land far away.

There was a place called FRICY!

Fricy is a land that is litter and bitter smell and

taste of the wind is bad

There lay frightfullary wolves.

They are barough species fill of haste and

trickery, living outside in the land of Fricy.

They are smarave and dangicious wolves.

They crunch and lunch if you do not give

them the correct answer to their questions.

Beware the land of Fricy!

And good luck surviving there :) or should I say :(
