Poetry is not my favourite thing to do. It proved to be quite relaxing and comforting to write it. While our teachers were away we had a T.O.C. (Ms. Finlay) come in and help us out. She was great.
We learned about and how to write several different types of poems. The ones we did were:
- Similes/Cliches/Rhyme Scheme
- Haikus
- Metaphors
- Found Poems
- Imagery Poems
- Sound Poems
- Personification Poems
- Experience Poems
- Self-portrait Poems
Every poem we wrote was to be linked to our worldview, since we had just worked on a unit about worldview.
We then had to start making our book which should also include an explanation of the poem. If you want to read my book click on the box below.
Most of my poems are about hockey since it’s my favourite sport and activity. I’ve then got a few that are about actual worldview and what it is. One of my poems is about languages, as I am trilingual (I speak English, French, and Spanish), and it is a big part of my world view.
So far the Poetry unit has been probably my favourite. It proved to be really relaxing and when I wrote the poems it was stress-free and once I got into it they were really easy.
Well that just about wraps it up. Until next post.
