Look how ARCI students are finding themselves and losing themselves with Art!
Our Post FCE Poets
This
year we read the short story called DAZZLER, and as a follow-up
activity I invited my students to write a haiku summarising their
understanding of the story.
A
haiku is a Japanese poem which consists of three lines, with the
first and third line having five syllables, and the middle line
having seven.
These
poems are very short and try to capture a feeling or an image, many
times connected to the natural world.
My
students are very hard-working and creative, but they are not very
fond of following rubrics, so they wrote haikus on the topics they
pleased, and I would like to share them with you because, as they
said, it’s not easy to write a haiku, and some of their productions
are very profound, and some really light-hearted.
Although
some of them do not follow the convention 5-7-5, they
do have one of the features of haikus: they condense an idea, a
feeling, an emotion, in just a few words.
We
hope you like them.
Life

If
youthfulness knew

old-age could:
what
world this would be!
At
night on the beach
clams
make nice love
clacking

If
to teach is to touch,
when
you gently touch my soul
I
do learn I am.

Our CAE "C" Art Fans
I started the project by introducing students to the subject of art. I gave them a
questionnaire about how sensitive they were to art and they had to fill in the
questions with phrasal verbs which we were dealing with at the time. Next, they had
to discuss the questions in pairs, then as a class and finally, I told them they might do
something in connection to the subject. I used Padlet to display my students' work,
and it was a great success!
