Browning’s “The Pied Piper
of Hemlin”. Write down
some sound devices that
you will hear. The poem
will be read twice listen
carefully.
Into the street the Piper stept,
Smiling first a little smile,
As if he knew what magic slept
In his quiet pipe the while;
Then, like a musical adept,
To blow the pipe his lips he wrinkled,
And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled
Like a candle flame where salt is sprinkled;
And ere three shrill notes the pipe uttered,
You heard as if an army muttered;
And the muttering grew to a grumbling;
And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling;
And out of the houses the rats came tumbling:
Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats,
Brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats,
Grave old plodders, gay young friskers,
Listen as your teacher reads “Noise Day” by Shel Silverstein.

Noise Day
by Shel Silverstein
Let’s have one day for girls and boyses When you can make
the grandest noises. Screech, scream, holler, and yell - - Buzz a
buzzer, clang a bell, Sneeze—hiccup—whistle—shout, Laugh
until your lungs wear out, Toot a whistle, kick a can, Bang a
spoon against a pan, Sing, yodel, bellow, hum, Blow a horn,
beat a drum, Rattle a window, slam a door, Scrape a rake
across the floor, Use a drill, drive a nail, Turn the hose on the
garbage pail, Shout Yahoo-Hurrah-Hurray, Turn up the music
all the way, Try and bounce your bowling ball, Ride a
skateboard up the wall, Chomp your food with a smack and a
slurp, Chew-Chomp—hiccup—burp. One day a year do all of
these, The rest of the days –be quiet please.

Idiomatic Expression?
The English Language uses phrases that
have a different meaning than the meaning of
the individual words in them. These are called
idiomatic expressions. You can get the
meaning of these expressions by reading
words in the same sentence. This is called
context clues. Read the sentences with the
idiomatic expressions in italics and give the
meaning of each.
