Speaking exercise 

• Work in pairs 
  
• Choose a category that you want to talk about / something you think you can talk about. 
  
• In every category you have two roles; speaker 1 and speaker 2 
  
• These two speakers are going to have a conversation about a certain topic or question. 
  
• Do all the conversations of your chosen category .
  
• It is crucial to speak English throughout the whole conversation and really get into character (if you have to).
  
• Try to keep the conversation going .
  
• When you’re having these conversations I will walk around and give you some feedback.

Create a presentation 

• Create a short presentation (+/-10 minutes) in which you introduce your poem/song text you’ve written  to the rest of the class through reading it aloud followed by an interactive exercise and concluded by why you as a group chose this theme to write your poem/song text in.

• There are millions of possibilities and you are free to think of other options.      
  
• Be creative!
  
• Do keep in mind that:
  
• You only have 10 min
  
• Each member of your group needs to participate in the presentation
  
• The rest of the class needs to interactively explore the poem with you. 
  

Poetry project

First start thinking about the theme you would like to write your poem about: 

• love 
  
• life
  
• happiness
  
• life experience 
  
• something you’re sad/angry about 
  

Poetry project 

• Think about if its going to rhyme or not: a poem doesn’t have to rhyme!
  
• Want a bit of help with rhyming? Go to rhyme rabbit, rhyme zone, etc. There are loads of websites you can go to.
• Don’t use too simple language, try to show off your vocabulary!
• Look at some poems you like to get some inspiration 

Poetry project 

• When you’ve written your poem you’re going to start working on your presentation. 
  
• Make sure your lesson is clear and easy to follow: 
• Think about: 
• What are you going to do in your interactive exercise? 
• how long is your interactive exercise? 
• How are you going to check the answers? 

Poetry project 

• Now: 
  
• Go into groups and begin writing your poem! 
  
• Presentations are in the week of 20-24th of June.
