Rainbow Poetry: How to Write a Free Verse Colour Poem
Class experience
US Grade 3 - 5
If you’re seeing red or feeling blue, then our class on writing a free verse poem about a colour will soon have you in the pink again. Others will be green with envy when they read your brilliant poem! Join us as we explore a kaleidoscope of language to build a poem about a colour. Perhaps it’ll be your favourite colour, or one that you think will be fun to play around with using words. We’ll talk about what free verse poetry is and how it can help to create our poems without the pressure...
Students will: Learn about free verse poetry and when it is an effective choice. Explore different aspects of colour and what they may remind us of (eg, certain emotions, temperatures, etc). Build interesting phrases and expand on their descriptions. Experiment with ordering their phrases in different ways and identify what they feel works best. Produce a free verse poem about a colour of their choice and have the tools to go to create poems about other colours if they wish.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, along with Theatre Arts, I've almost 20 years of experience in teaching English in primary schools. Over those years, I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills and teaching creative writing online. I have both written poetry and taught poetry over many years.
