Year 11's little Friday poetry workshop

Task 1::

As already discussed in class, write your own poem in English. You're completely free in terms of subject, form, length etc. It can be romantic, funny, reflective, political, silly...

Write your poem on a piece of paper and hand it in at the end of the lesson. If you prefer to type it, send it to me via email.

The following websites will help you:

www.rhymezone.com > a great tool that will not only help you to find rhymes, but also definitions, synonyms, antonyms etc.

www.dict.cc > German-English and English-German online dicitionary

How to Master the Basics of Poetry > General information on poetry and some tips about writing poems

Task 2 (only if you could finish your poem):

When you're finsihed writing, check out the internet for poetry in English. Try to find a poem you like. Be ready to report to the class about it and say what you like about it.
