My Poetry ILT and my Thoughts

First lets start by asking ourselves. What exactly is poetry? Poetry is the expression of feelings in powerful words used normally in a pattern.For example:

When there is colour 

It is so mesmerizing 

possibly surprising 

when colour is around 

everything looses its bound 

This is why colour is special to me 

and makes everyone happy 

Its is impossible to not like poetry as poetry calms the nerve and brings you into this magical world of rhyming and sense of belonging. There were five activities over our five day ILT. The first of which was Terminology we had to define a bunch of words that we were given relating to poetry.The second task was Poetry Writing.For this we each had come up with a poem that we put on a google slide using different types of poems for each slide.The third task , also my favorite task , was black out poetry.Black out poetry is where you would take a passage or paragraph of words and make a picture by blacking out certain words to leave just words that can form a poem.Here's my black out poetry. 

Our fourth task , and probably most fun , was the grand , poetry slam.My group made a 16 line poem and actions to go with our  poem.The last task was our analyzing poem task , here we had to look at different poems and choose one to answer questions to. This project as a whole was awesome to me because there was a ton to learn from this poetry ILT. Everything from new poetic terminology to learning that I actually like poetry.
