Poetry ILT

                                                           

Last week the Grade 6's did a poetry ILT . Poetry is a form of English writing , that sometimes rhymes. There are lots of different styles of poetry, my favourite style is a Haiku. People write poetry to express how people are feeling.

 The activities we did over the ILT was we had to do a terminology task were we had to look up words and find out what they mean. Another thing we did  was  a poetry slam  were we had to come up with a poem and preform in front of two classes.We also had to write different styles of poetry  and then put it into a slide show. Another activity we did was a black out poem were we had to make a poem with words we had on a page. We also had to do an imaginary task which Mr Walker gave us a three poems to choose from and we had to read  it  and then draw a drawing of it. we also had to analysis a poem and then ask a peer to mark it. and the last one we had to do was the self reflection.

I liked the Slam the best because i like to write poetry and i also like to perform pieces.The one i liked the least was the terminology because it took a long time to research the words and then write them down.

The most challenging activity was the black out poetry because it was hard to make a poem with the words you have on the page.

I felt great performing in front of the others. It was a lot of fun showing everybody what my group and I have made.

I learnt a lot of new words during the ILT was Onomatopoeia. It is a sound put into words.

My favourite poem is ''Shoot for the moon but if you miss you'll land upon  the stars.
