Poetry Group

This group did an awesome job with the subject they had. Poetry, I feel, is the most feared part of English and this group tackled it. It was apparant that they loved poetry and had a passion for making others want to write and read poetry. The "I Am" poem with the outline was an amazing idea because I think it took something we had already done and put a new spin on it. We were all already comfortable with the "I Am" poem and they did something new.

The magazine activity was fun, however, I don't really know what it accomplished. It just seemed more like an art project than anything that had to do with poetry. But, for a fun activity, I could definately see myself using it.

As for the memory map activity, it was good, but I think some students would be kind of hesitant in putting something so personal on display for the rest of class to see. I guess that is my biggest issue with poetry, it is usually very personal and most of the time things that I would not want put into the public eye.

However, the poetry did a great job and gave me some pretty cool ideas for introducing poetry into my Political Science classes! Good job guys!
