Poetry

(Friday, August 6th, 2019) 

For this class since there were less students than usual, the teacher decided to make the activity ( the storytelling) until the end of the class so that others students could arrive. after this announcement, the teacher told us to make the groups of the proposal and he started to make questions regarding poetry such as the what's the purpose of poetry, the requirements needed to write poetry and if we were a poet, what kind of poetry would you write. With my group, we gave different answers. some classmates said that they would like to focus on nature poetry, some others in injustice and reflection of life. 

Something very interesting was that the teacher mentioned  there are people who are very good at writing poem, but they are not good at reciting, and vice versa. After this little discussion, we listened to some songs in  order to identify the feelings and the different stylistic devises used in the lyrics. we listened to the songs River, California and  A case of you, the three song by Joni Mitchell. After this exercises we did not have time enough to present our storytelling, but next class we will present it.
