Puisi - Poetry
Students have thought about and compared Ketut and
themselves as they worked through the learning object. Diamante or
diamond-shaped poems are a way that they can express those ideas in yet
another form.
Diamante poems are built using different parts of
speech - with lines that go from one word (a noun), to two words
(adjectives) to three words (verbs) and then on to the middle line of
four words (two nouns that relate to each site of the poem). The other
side is then the reverse moving out from 3 words, to 2 words and then
one word.
Diamante poems can be used to compare two things -
often opposites, like 'Day' and 'Night', 'Winter' and 'Summer', but can
also be used to compare Ketut and the student themselves in this case.
This sheet will explain to students how to set out the poem (in
Word or
PDF).
Have students share their poems by reading aloud.
Assessment for learning:
Using students' poems, assess the extent to which
students have:
- used correct spelling
- identified correct parts of speech
- chosen appropriate words to represent Ketut
- spoken with correct pronunciation when reading
their poems.
Provide feedback to students.
Display poems on coloured paper, perhaps with
triangles of two different colours.
