Today, I did a task in which I made a poem using Magnetic poetry.
First, I read some examples of spring magnetic poems made by young kiwis on these slides.
Second, I made a copy of a google drawings that had many articles, determiners, pronouns, punctuations, adverbs, nouns, adjectives and verbs.
Third, I thought of a topic that I will be writing my poem on which was ice-cream.
Next, I chose some words that I could use to make the poem. The important words were sun, melted, ice-cream, hands and sticky.
Then, I made the poem using the words and checked if it makes sense.
Lastly, I used Screencastify to record my video of me reading my poem.
I learnt that Magnetic Poetry is a way of creative writing consisting of individual words related to a particular topic which are creatively arranged into poetry.
An interesting fact is that Magnetic poetry was invented by Dave Capell when he couldn't think of what to write for a song.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to make a poem using a creative way.
Kia ora Sahil. Phil here from the Poetry Slam team. Thanks for sharing another awesome poem. I like the way you added expression when you read the last line. Don't forget to enter your poem into the slam using this form. Then you can head to this site to check out some other students' poems and leave them some comments. Keep up the amazing mahi!
ReplyDeleteAta mārie Sahil!
ReplyDeleteChris here again, from the Summer Learning Journey! Great to see you still posting!
Tēnā koe for completing the Poetry Slam Wha Kick Start activity! Glad you enjoyed it!
Pai mahi on not only creating the poem, but reading for us so we know how it is supposed to sound. A lot of great art comes from the journey of trying to create something else, like Dave Capell’s story. Do you have any favourite poems? Or maybe even favourites of yours, out of the ones you’ve written?
I’m looking forward to seeing what else you post in the final week, next week!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
