 During our virtual class lesson , We had to give her thoughts on reasons why we love poetry and why we dont . Each side had to give their views . The questions were given reasons why you love poetry and why you don't love poetry . Responses were written on the Jam board and read orally by the lecturer .some students were questioned about their responses and the teacher clarified .

Additionally , we got more information about the reasons for poetry , the lecturer gave reasons like give expressions and that it is unique it helps persons to feel while they are reading , putting themselves in it seeing the world in a different light , it is said that some poems can make us laugh, make us get into our feelings . When writing poems we must always choose our words carefully , whether they are creative so they can understand .

As children read poem, they should have a natural flow . They are different ways to bring out poem eg songs, verses and rhymes especially for the infant classes NB,When creating  a poem you also have to follow the writing process eg revise , edits and share their writing . While doing poetry I've also learned that they are different types of poems eg preposition poems , wish poems, free verse, acrostic poems, bilingual, concrete and found poems .

Prepositions poems are poems begins with prepositions 

Wish poems : Poems starts with I wish 

Free verse : It is an un rhymed poetry using word choice and visual images take on greater importance .

Acrostic Poems : Using key words 

Bilingual Poems: Inserting words from the other languages into their poems .

Concrete poems. Arranging words to form a picture helps convey meaning .

Found poems : By ailing words from other sources such as news paper articles songs, and stones .

List poems : create a poem using words and phrases from a list they brain scorned.


As the class continued I've learned something new that when you are doing poetry , you use alphabetical order according to the letter sound .We did two poems : The flattered flying fish  and the  sea is a hungry dog .




 


In conclusion using poems in class is a great choice as it helps with class lessons as it helps .I also gained a lot of information about poetry and how it is orchestrated . Poetry can bring color to a lesson and class room interaction .

  2. Hi Shanice, it's fascinating to read about your virtual class experience on exploring reasons for loving or not loving poetry. The insights from our lecturer about poetry as a unique form of expression, allowing readers to feel and see the world differently, are thought-provoking. The breakdown of different poem types, from preposition poems to found poems, adds depth to your learning experience. The mention of using alphabetical order based on letter sounds in poetry is an intriguing detail. It sounds like a comprehensive and engaging class that has broadened your understanding of the diverse facets of poetry!
