Poetry Project

Learning goals:

Learn about literature: language functioning in war rhetoric, study poems, study literary terms, create your own poems and discuss them in groups. 

What do you need to do?

• Go through the reader and do the tasks (I will tell you  what to do and when). You need to hand everything in.
• Read the poems and analyse them using the glossary
• Decide which poem is your favourite and why
• Take the writing test
• Write a poem using your new acquired knowledge
• Oral exam in groups of 3/4 about all of the above

                                                      KEEP CALM AND USE

                                                      YOUR OWN BRAIN

Don't use this in class! It will just get you in trouble later

Groups

Step 1: 1 min in silence

- Think of a happy memory of the past year

- Write down a few keywords

- Then use the 5 senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, to elaborate

Step 2: 2-3 mins together

- Use your notes to tell your neighbour about your memory

- Try to use the 5 senses in your story: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste

- Help each other to elaborate & make things clear

Step 3: 7 mins in silence

- Use the sheet of paper to write a short letter to a family member or friend (as if it just happened)

- .... about your happy memory

- About half a page will do

- I will ask a few people to read their letter to the class

- If you finish quickly, check your work! And add a drawing :)

Step 4: 3 mins together

- Exchange letters with your neighbour

- Check each other's work

- Underneath, write 2 tops and 2 tips: be specific!

- Is it clear? Vivid description?

- Grammar / vocabulary / punctuation

I will pick up your letters at the end of the lesson.

Aspects of poetry

Getting to know the glossary

In order to complete certain tasks you need to know literary terms and their functions

On pages 24-29 in the reader you will find a detailed glossary

Time to get to know this glossary a bit better

When you see the term, look it up in the glossary, then find an example online and submit it in the slide

Find an example of an hyperbole

Find an example of an oxymoron

Find an example of alliteration

Find an example of a cliché

Find an example of personification
