Shape Poetry

The activity for this week is shape poetry. Honestly, before this ECS lesson, I do not have any knowledge in shape poetry and with very little interest in poems, because I think that poems are boring and I have to think deeper to understand the hidden meaning..

In the beginning, Miss Sheba briefly explained the meaning of poems and some techniques on creating shape poetry. She also showed us a few examples on shape poetry that had created by some of our seniors.

And because we were Too quiet and no response from us, So, Miss Sheba decided to have an ice-breaking activity, which is we were requested to form a circle by holding each other’s hands. Then she played a song (I’m alive, Celine Dion) and, we had to imitate the dance moves from our classmates, danced with the rhythms of the song! It was fun seeing different types of funny movements! Haha!

Ok, let’s switch back to shape poetry. I’ve collaborated with my friend, Fu Chi to create a poem with the theme of snow. We were trying to relate children and snow. Finally we came out a poem like this:

*Children are looking out from the windows,

The town is covered with snow.

Children want to play with the snow,

The mothers’ heads nod,

Excitement in children showed.

Children standing in a row,

And preparing a battle of snow! *

(I know our poem is bit simple, haha)

(We used the shape of snowman because most children like to build snowman during the winter time.)
