Hey, welcome back to my blog! In this post I will be talking about my most recent project in humanities, Working With Words. In this project we learned about poetry. In the end we wrote multiple different styles of poetry, including haikus, sound, and found poems. The driving question for this project was “how might we construct text to show who we are right now?” Well, in this post I will answer that.
In this project, we worked in groups of threes, but it was a different group every day. Over the course of the project we learned different poetry terms, including, but not exclusive to, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, connotation, denotation, rhyme scheme, theme, mood, and many more.
In the end, we created an E-Book with the poetry we had written about our worldview. Here’s mine:
So, to answer the driving question: how might we construct text that shows who we are right now? Well, through our poetry, we can convey moods and themes, and talk about our experiences, biases, or anything else that makes you, you!
