Γιορτάζοντας την Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Ποίησης 2024! Νέα εκπομπή στο Ευρωπαϊκό Σχολικό Ραδιόφωνο (European School Radio)

Μερικές φορές, το μόνο που θέλουν τα παιδιά είναι ενθάρρυνση και μια ευκαιρία να δημιουργήσουν. Έτσι, ξεπερνώντας αντικειμενικές δυσκολίες, τα παιδιά της Δ’ τάξης συνεργάστηκαν και έγραψαν όλα μαζί ένα ποίημα για την άνοιξη, με τίτλο: Spring Is My Favourite! Παράλληλα, τα κορίτσια της ΣΤ’ τάξης έγραψαν η καθεμία το δικό της ποίημα, με διαφορετική έμπνευση, και το αποτέλεσμα αποτυπώθηκε στο επεισόδιο που ακολουθεί:

Ode To A Stray Dog

This is an acrostic type of poem, that the 4th grade students did collectively on World Poetry Day, and they really nailed it! By the way, Boomerang is the name of the dog, he is a big black shepherd and the nurses at the nearby hospital have adopted him. There is also a school in the neighbourhood, and Boomerang likes to watch all the children go to school in the morning, while sometimes he even stands in the middle of the street, so cars stop and the little students can cross safely!

Celebrating World Poetry Day: Acrostic Name Poems

I recently happened to come across this great article called “7 Fin Ideas for Writing and Publishing Student Poetry”, by Hannah Hudson, on the We Are Teachers website. It was great, because I wanted to get ideas for something to do in class on World Poetry Day, March 21.

Here’s a sample of what we’ve been able to accomplish in class with 5th and 6th graders (4th graders needed a little more time):

I had prepared a list of adjectives, in alphabetic order, which we translated and analysed, working in groups. Then, the students chose the adjectives that they thought described them best. They finished their work by drawing themselves as accurately as possible. It was wonderful to see how absorbed they were, trying to write self-defining poetry! Students love to define themselves, and this is a basic step towards building mutual respect and solving discipline issues in class. All they need is an opportunity! Marvellous!
