Definition: A formal, rhythmic way of walking, used especially by soldiers, bands and in ceremonies.
Alright class, settle down now, letโs take a look!
Today weโre tackling โmarchโ, itโs quite a word, you see,
The dictionary tells us, โa rhythmic walk for thee!โ
It's more than just strolling, or a casual pace,
It has a special feeling, a purposeful grace.
Think of soldiers lined up, in perfect array,
Moving as one, marching on that day!
Or maybe a band, with instruments bright,
Keeping time and rhythm, a glorious sight.
And ceremonies too, where movements are planned,
A formal march is often close at hand.
So "march" means walking โ steady and slow,
With rhythm and purpose, putting on a show!
Do you understand? Any questions to share?
Now, letโs try an exampleโฆ Can anyone think of a time they might
march
