    Kia ora. I hope you all had a great weekend.  It's always difficult after a term break to settle back into school routines, but I was really pleased with the way you have got on with your work - and have read some really powerful Haiku verses.  Ka Pai!  This week, we are going to view some more examples of slam poetry, and then look at the transcripts to identify the poetic techniques we see.  We will be looking at how we can expand our own writing to include these poetic techniques.

    Success Criteria:

        • Identify and explain a range of poetic techniques
        • Use a writing framework to create a piece of poetic writing
        • Use a range of figurative and poetic techniques in my writing

    Activities:

    1. Complete and publish Haiku (email to me, you do not have to print - you will choose whether you want to share with others)
    2. View poetry slam Alex Dang - What kind of Asian are you?
    3. Ed Perfect - poetic techniques (revision)
    4. Annotate transcript for poetic features
