The Learning Centre have drawn on their developing knowledge and understanding of WW1.
The students selected one aspect about WW1 they are particularly interested in e.g.trenches, mustard gas, conscription.
The students listed all the nouns that relate to their topic in a column. They then selected interesting vocabulary to describe the visual appearance and actions of that aspect.
Then came the fun!
The students crafted the noun creatively with the verbs and adjectives for effect.
With editing, recrafting, and reorganising the ideas to paint a picture in our readers mind, we ensured our poetry, did indeed, make our reader feel what we feel, see what we see, and make our reader become involved in our poetry.

Trenches
ReplyDeleteStanding tall, still strong,
Bloody trails, mud slippery,
Sand sliding down the wall
Soldiers falling like them all
Wood snapping like the bones?
Flesh ripping blood thirsty
Rats waiting for their chance to leap
Bombs exploding
Guns fire,
Rocks tumbling
Soldiers wondering
When will this ever stop?
As we sleep the taste of terror slips through your mouth.

War Horses
ReplyDeleteBig, dull, scary ship, heading towards their destiny
Adventure begins
Start of the end
Spine-chilling, ghost white slings
Pull from crate to ground
Free to move
We all wait for our turn down
Loud, noisy, scary gunshots
Hard, dark ground, getting left behind
Galloping through the battlefield
Heavy, full carts
Getting pulled behind me
Dark red, blood everywhere
Watch out! Big round exploding bombs are away!
After the war, where will we go?
Destiny unknown
Peaceful hope.
