Poetry I.L.T.




Last week the grade did a I.L.T.  on poetry. So today I will be writing about the I.L.T., lets do this.


Poetry is a form of writing that expresses a person, it can rhyme or not, poetry can also come in different forms like a haiku, concrete poem, a limerick etc. People write poetry if they want to express themselves or if they get inspired by something. Over the five days of the I.L.T. we did terminology, we did poetry writing and we did analyzing poetry. Those are the things my group and I did now these were the individual tasks: imagery, blackout poetry and self reflection.


My personal best activity was the imagery, it was the best because  I love to draw and I think that it looked the best out of all the activities. My worst one was the poetry slam because I hate doing drama in front of people. The most challenging activity was the poetry slam because we did not really get time to practice because we had a lot to do with the other activities. I felt really really nervous performing in-front of everyone.


 I learned new vocabulary during the I.L.T. , this is the new vocabulary I have learned: Stanza, onomatopoeia, consonance, assonance and analogy. I learned about myself that I can actually write a poem (But it does take time). My favorite poem was Tyger Tyger.

Precepts

We have been reading Wonder in English class, we read page 36-48 and on one of those pages there was a Precept it said, "When given the choice between being right or being kind choose kind." ,So today my blog is about precepts.



WHAT IS A PRECEPT?
a Precept is a general rule that helps you decide how you should behave in particular circumstances.

I chose this quote because it actually tells you why you must be kind and it tells people that it is not just BIG deeds that make people good, it is mostly small deeds that do the most.
