Poetry: revision

Writing poetry follows a writing process as any other writing, from gathering ideas, pre-writing, drafting to revision and publishing.
On Monday students, the few who were at school, thought of an animal and collected ideas and phrases.
On Tuesday and Wednesday I worked with individual students ( the ones who had some text written to work with) on using the phrases and words to create a poem. The students wrote or rewrote phrases on post-its and then played around with the order of them. They read out loud to hear how the poem sounded and added, rearranged, changed or deleted words as necessary. The next step was to write the final draft on Google Drive.
