Having Fun in Teaching and Learning English Through Literature (Poetry)

- How many hours do you spend writing?

- Do you write in one sitting or do you work on separate sections and at various times?

Principle #3:

Offer models of good poetry as a way to teach the skills and techniques that are the writer’s craft. This technique exposes students to a  variety  of styles, to the use

of literary devices and to the approaches a writer can take.

Sample Activities:

(1) Teacher should read famous poems to the class such as:

“Me”

Chairil Anwar,

When my time comes No one’s going to cry for me, And you won’t, either

The hell with all those tears!
