Reflect on your learning about Creative Writing so far in English. Think back to our learning around Haiku, our discussion about what makes “good” creative writing, etc. What new things have you learned? How have you learned them? What activities in particular did you find enjoyable, interesting, or fun? What specifically was interesting to you, and why?
Haiku Poems
Looking back at the Haiku poems, I had to write four haiku poems which can be from one season or different seasons. I wrote about Summer. It was really fun making the poems.
My favourite poems are;
The ocean is bright
Spectacularly it shines
And shimmary too
I love summertime
The sun on the beach is warm
The water is cold
Sensory Language
This activity was the one which I liked and learnt the most. Sensory language is a paragraph or scene that connects the five senses without using the words: saw, heard, smelled, tasted, felt. I wrote about the lupin flowers which I saw on the trip from Christchurch to Queenstown.
Language Features
This was the first activity of the Creative Writing unit. This was also the one which I liked and learnt. In this activity, I had to choose three out of five language features that I had to write about - with their meaning and two examples. The three I wrote about was personification, anaphora and allusion. This was a fun and interesting activity to do.
