Poetry
« on: April 29, 2008, 04:33:22 pm »
This originally included limericks, but these were a little too complicated for the students to fully comprehend. I stuck with just acrostic poetry instead. I began by explaining what an acrostic poem was and had them read the two examples on the handout (attached below). I then asked the classes to come up with topics for more acrostic poems (Soju, TVXQ, Mokpo, girls, Korea, kimchi, Jach, and beautiful were common words among all the classes). I then asked the students to come up with three poems and write them down. I'd walk around and pick the best 7-8 poems and have those poems written on the board. The class would then read each poem aloud. The girls liked them and had lots of fun with them and they were actually participating! Nice to see!
