Poetry is a peace of writing that sometimes poets write with feelings and emotion. Poetry also sometimes enspires the hearts of others. Poetry sometimes are quotes that inspire and motivate people.
When I write poetry I feel like its like drawing your emotions with words. I like some forms of poetry, but some forms of poetry I find boring and not fun. My favourite form is the Haiku.
People write poetry because poetry is fun and they can sometimes be sad and they write down their emotions. Lots of people write poems as a job and sometimes become famous for writing poems.
I like writing poems when I am sad because writing my emotions down makes me feel better and it also is fun for me sometimes and replaces my sadness with joy.
I had seven activities over the three days. The first task was the choral verse when our class acted a big play about being the same. The second task was terminology when we were given words and we had to find out the meaning of all of them. The third task was Poetry writing when each person from my group had to write a poem. I wrote a haiku. The fourth task was blackout poetry when we got a page from a novel and we had to black out words to make a poem. The fifth task was the poetry slam. We had to make a poem and act it out in front of the class. The sixth task was analysing poems when we had to read a poem and answer questions about it. The seventh task was imagery when we had to read a poem and draw a picture about the poem and write it was about.
All the tasks were fun for me and I enjoyed them allot. They were very fun. I learnt lots about poetry over the ILT and I hope I learn even more in the future to come.
My favourite task was the blackout poetry because I liked the challenge of finding a poem on a page from a book. It was also fun because we made pictures from blacking out the other words.
My least favourite task was the poetry slam because my group changed my poetry slam without telling me so I could not do it.
I think the imagery was the most challenging because I had to read a poem and draw a picture of how you feel about the poem and write a little bit about the poem.
I felt happy with my imagery and I feel I drew the right picture and writing for me.
I felt proud performing in front of others because I said all my parts correctly but I did feel a bit nervous in front of everyone. I think our class poem was the best of all of them.
I learnt lots of new words like onamatopoeia, stanza, console, assonance, analogy and personification.
I learnt that I am good at poetry and that I can express my feelings on a piece of paper and that I feel the joy of poetry. I feel that poetry is a joy in my life.
