PoemHunter.com: Poems - Quotes - Poetry Poesi och cirkelmodellen – en lysande kombination | thereselinner Jag ser engagerade elever som sitter och småpratar vid borden Jag hör ett kreativt sorl i klassrummet och pennor som rispar mot papper Jag känner koncentrationen och arbetsron Det är så här det ska vara i en skola. Jag har alltid tyckt att det är lite klurigt att jobba med poesi med eleverna. När det kommer till skrivande av olika dikter brukar klassrumet vara fullt av suckar och pustar. Vånda över att man tror att det ska vara på ett visst sätt och det sättet kan man inte. Att jag själv tycker att det är klurigt är nog för att långt inne finns samma vånda gömd. Vi bär mycket med oss i in i vårt uppdrag. Men de senaste åren har det blivit bättre och gått bättre. Den här gången kombinerade jag mina tidigare efrarenheter och cirkelmodellen. Hur har vi då jobbat? Fas 1- bygga upp kunskap Vi tittade tillsammans på en presentation som vår bibliotikare visade oss. Fas 2 – läsa och undersöka texter Nu var det dags att möta massor av olika dikter. Fas 3 – skriva gemensam text Vilken lektion!

I, Too, Sing America Patriotism's a pretty complicated concept. It can mean standing up for your country or criticizing it. If you want to sum up patriotism, you can simply call it "love for one's country." Langston Hughes certainly doesn't think so. Hughes was often considered the poet laureate of the Harlem Renaissance. Hughes published "I, Too, Sing America" in 1945, a good ten years or so before the start of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. We started this party talking about patriotism. Patriotism's all about loving your country and being proud to be its citizen, right? In Langston Hughes's case, he knows that by birth he's an American citizen. So Hughes pens this poem, in which he envisions a greater America, a more inclusive America. Freedom and equality.

Writing template – I am You should write a poem by describing yourself. Start your sentences by using I am. You could either use the template below or come up with your own ideas. Remember to use figures of speech if you would like to develope your poem. We will do this in class. I look for strategies of how you come up with your own words, solutions of other lines and how well you use figures of speech. Writing template – I Am I am sharp and focused (two special characteristics) I wonder what the camera really sees (something you are actually curious about) I hear the buzzing bee (an imaginary sound) I see flowers in early morning light (an imaginary sight) I want to stop time in a box (an actual desire) I am sharp and focused (the first line of the poem restated)

What makes a poem … a poem? - Melissa Kovacs The first poems were read aloud. Their regular patterns aided memorization of genealogy, oral history, and law. The performance aspect of poetry has never disappeared; Robert Frost toured the country and earned a living mainly through poetry readings. The poetic tradition can relate to orators, who craft messages to be delivered aloud to an audience. Today, performance poetry has become a genre unto itself, most notably, in the rise of slam poetry in the 1980’s. The lesson begins with a poem delivered by Muhammad Ali. Free verse poetry defied many of the conventions of traditional poetry when a movement began to “free” poetry from strict form standards and instead mimic the patterns and rhythms of everyday speech.

Glossary Terms | Poetry Foundation Often used in political speeches and occasionally in prose and poetry, anaphora is the repetition of a word or words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or lines to create a sonic effect. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which uses anaphora not only in its oft-quoted “I have a dream” refrain but throughout, as in this passage when he repeats the phrase “go back to”: Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. In Joanna Klink's poem “Some Feel Rain,” the phrase "some feel" is repeated, which creates a rhythm and a sense of an accumulating emotions and meanings: Some feel rain. in its ghost-part when the bark slips. each other in the whiskey dark, scarcely there.

10 of Langston Hughes' Most Popular Poems - Biography In a 1926 story for The Nation, Langston Hughes wrote, “An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose.” And throughout his career, he crafted his words with that exact essence. Born James Mercer Langston Hughes in Joplin, Missouri, on February 1, 1902, the young boy moved around throughout his early years growing up with his maternal grandmother after his parents’ divorce. When she passed away, he went to live with his mom in Cleveland, where he began to write poetry.
