For our final poetry project our teacher had us choose a way to show our learning for poetry. We had to write a minimum of 3 poetic forms and present. I made 5 stars and had a different poetic device for each star. 
 
Learning Intention: I can create a variety of poems that follow specific forms using poetic devices.


From doing this unit I learned many, many things. I learned how to write different kinds of poetry such as, Haiku, Concrete, Found etc. I learned different things about how to write them, for example a haiku must have 3 lines and the first line has to be 5 syllables the second 7 then the third 5 again. As for concrete the poem has to make up the picture not go around it (take a look at the butterfly in the slideshow for a example) Something else I learned is how to add poetic devices into the poems, (metaphor, rhyme etc.)
 
I really enjoyed doing this project, it was really fun to try and get as creative as possible. :D
Here is a slideshow of all of the stars and the poems that are on them.

Tweety Bird,
I really liked the way you presented your project. I love the idea of a whole bunch of stars, and I thought that was very creative. I really enjoyed reading some of your poems as you went so much deeper then what I would have thought. I can tell that you took a long time working on this project, as I know you wanted to get the best mark you can. On your concrete poem, I liked how you went deeper (like I said before,) but went more into life of a butterfly, and talked more about dreams. I really enjoyed!
