I remember being taught poetry in elementary school, and it
has always been difficult for me. I remembered having difficulties creating one
and was really discouraged by the idea of being the author to my own poem. Even though poetry is personally not something
I am very passionate about, I do know that I will be teaching this in my near
future. The first group’s presentation
was very intriguing to me because it reminded me of simple ways I can introduce
poetry to the classroom. It will
probably be difficult to teach but there are ways to make it fun and
educational at the same time.
The second group’s presentation was very informative as
well. It demonstrated how one simple
activity can get a whole class engaged.
We were given simple instructions and from there we were allowed to get
as creative as we wanted to. As adults,
this was a little difficult to do, but it would be second nature for the elementary
school kids. This is an activity that I
think every teacher can use in their classrooms and would highly benefit
from. Not only will the children be
enjoying this activity, but they will be expanding their minds and writing
creatively.
