Unleashing Creativity: Figurative Language in Poetry

On December 16, 2011, students will dive into the world of figurative language, enhancing their writing skills through engaging exercises. The agenda includes exploring free-verse poems, writing a food poem, and creating a photo poem. Students will focus on “showing” rather than “telling” in their writing. The word of the day is "exuberant," inspiring vitality in their work. Homework encourages the continuation of journal writing and brainstorming poem ideas. A handout with poetry tips and examples will support their portfolio development.
