What is a definition of poetry?

POETRY:

Anything that's not prose or drama

DRAMA: anything that's not prose or poetry

PROSE: anything that's not poetry or drama (written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without metrical structure)

What elements make a poem a poem
according to you? Simply give your opinion, there are
no right or wrong answers here.

Making a class poem.......

*Pick a topic

*shout out some words

*make stanzas (=the paragraphs in poetry)

* and.... there you are!

After having discussed what a poem can be or not be, write me a 2-4 line poem about school. Again: there is no right or wrong!

What about poems that do use certain techniques? Which techniques have you heard of so far?

Which 'techniques' can you see being used in this poem?

Work together and pick a topic. Then write your own poem of at least 10 lines and hand it in here. We will read some poems in class! (Don't copy from Google, you can do better).

Books - choose one from:

- The Rosie Project

- Being

- Boy

- The Outsiders

- Holes

(Library, teacher)

Which genre are we going to read in class, do you think?

2. Prose
