Poetry and Media
Here is The Link to the doc I shared in class. I wrote it originally as a Word doc so it didn't seamlessly translate to a Google Doc. If you email me, I can attach the original Word doc if you like.
This Second Link has the slides I shared for Poetry (spoken word, primarily) for my Gr. 10 Spoken Language class.
This Third Link is for the poetry houses-- it contains the 3 levels of questioning for meaning.
Email me if there is something else I mentioned in the workshop that you would like help with.
Happy to help!
Enjoy the poetic process,
Rebekah Loconte
T'was the night before Ignite and all through the school,
were last minute preparations, so no one would look a fool.
The posters were left in the classroom all done,
In hopes they would help their class be crowned #1.
The students went home with dance steps on lock,
While a song replayed in their heads to no one's shock.
When out from the internet the teacher gave the word,
that homework still needed doing, however absurd.
Twelve A had to read two essays of persuasion,
But Twelve C was free to work on any other equation.
The wind had ceased blowing to reveal a lovely sunset,
with evening strollers donning poppies, 'lest we forget'.
