During the time Ms. Willemse and the other PLP teachers were away, the class was left with the task of completing a Poetry book full of different poems all of which use different techniques that we learned over the week with a sub. Some poems were short, others long, but regardless of the poem, they all had to tie into my worldview. This made poetry writing even harder!

During this unit, everyone was also expected to write down definitions and methods for poetry which would come in handy later as a study sheet for our unit test.
The first day of the unit was mostly focused on Similes and Cliches. We learned the difference between the two as well as how to write a a Simile, which we then put into our book. A simile, which is a repetitive poem using definitions such “as” or “like”, was a very simple and easy poem to write and was a great start off for our long week of poetry. Below is my document full of the other definitions, methods and types of poems. You will also notice that each poem written in my poetry book has at least one or more of these methods and styles of poetry. ⤵️

Finally, using our technical design and knowledge of apps, all of us were tasked to create a book containing all of our poems we have written over the past week. I created mine using book creator. It contains many poems all of which relate to the worldview topic we have been studying. My book also features many photos some are mine! Anyways, I hope you enjoy my book as much as I did making it. And as you flip through the pages, I hope you learn something about my worldview! ⤵️
At the end of the unit, I discovered that poetry doesn’t necessarily have to be a chore. When you write about something you enjoy and choose the right style of poem for you, poetry can be quite fun and a rewarding form of art.
