Exploring and Exploiting Poetry

This PowerPoint about teaching poetry to primary school children was part of a course at IPGKDRI.

Here is the PowerPoint as a downloadable file. Some people find it is too big to download, so it is also presented here as a set of JPEGs. Click on each to see the bigger and see the notes.

Poetry Project Task

Here are some poems sent in by one of our IPG students, Colin Wong.

He wrote three poems in different forms with the theme of "Friendship"

Haiku
Colin is my name
I want to make friends in life
And you are my friend


Free verse
Sun is ordinary,
moon is ordinary,
sea is ordinary,
without them, the world is ordinary.

Father is ordinary,
mother is ordinary,
friend is ordinary,
Without them, my world is ordinary.


Acrostic poem
You will wonder who am I
Or what to define me
Unique or ordinary
Always appear
Right in front of you
Excited or
Miserable by me
Yes or not please
Finally you know
Right inside your heart
I am your friend
Eternally I will be there
Not going anywhere
Do not forget me as a friend...
