Creative Writing: I am Poem

This activity is very simple to carry out in class, and it is also very revealing. You will be surprised with the outcome! Before starting, it would be a good idea to revise literature concepts such as metaphor, similies, images. You can do this through the song "Feeling Good" by Michael Boubblé.
I recommend you to play soft background music while the children are writing. It helps to create a nice atmosphere. The children can let their imagination fly.
Here is the layout for the children to write their poem. I will include some examples of their writings soon. Stay tuned!
