Using Poems to Create Your Own Poem
Year 11
English
20 Students
The lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum: English, particularly with the focus on literary analysis, creative expression, and personal reflection in response to texts.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Poetry | 5 minutes | Briefly explain what poetry is, presenting various forms and styles. Introduce the learning objective. |
| 2 | Read Selected Poems | 10 minutes | Distribute copies of selected poems. Students read the poems in pairs, discussing themes and styles. |
| 3 | Analyse Poetic Techniques | 5 minutes | Discuss specific techniques used in the poems (e.g., imagery, rhyme, meter). Engage students in identifying these techniques. |
| 4 | Creative Writing Exercise | 7 minutes | Students draft their own poem using at least two techniques discussed. They can choose a theme or style. |
| 5 | Peer Review and Feedback | 3 minutes | In pairs, students share their poems with each other and provide constructive feedback. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Homework Assignment | 2 minutes | Summarize what was learned about poetry. For homework, students refine their poems based on feedback received in class. |
Students are to revise and finalize their original poems for submission on the following lesson day. Instead of presenting them in front of the class, the teacher will collect poems for assessment to ensure a comfortable environment for all students.
The teacher will assess the final poems based on creativity, use of poetic techniques, and clarity of expression, aligning with the English curriculum standards.
After the lesson, reflect on student engagement, understanding of poetic techniques, and the effectiveness of peer feedback in the creative process. Adjust future lessons based on student participation and comprehension.
