The seventh-grade poetry demo session that was held recently was a thought-

provoking and demanding experience that provided insightful information about the kids'
comprehension, involvement, and possible areas for growth. The lesson's effective
implementation of the warm-up exercise was one of its strong points. A warm welcome was
given to the class by asking the students a brief but intimate question about their week and
sentiments. This encouraged communication and openness. This made it possible for the
activities that centered on poetry to flow easily. Another highlight was when famous poet
Edgar Allan Poe gave his introduction. The student's understanding of Poe's work was
improved by the historical context that was given to them through the use of visuals and a
concise synopsis of the poet's life. But after giving the lesson some thought, I see how crucial
it is to highlight the links between Poet's life and his creative expression and how his style and
subjects relate to the fundamentals of poetry. The photo interpretation exercise was an
effective way to introduce emotions to the children and get them to react. Their ideas were
displayed on a whiteboard, which helped them visualize the poem's subtle emotional
overtones. However, in order to improve this exercise even further, next classes may include a
quick overview of the ways in which particular poetic techniques help a poem express
feelings. Students were forced to use their imaginations in a creative and cooperative way
throughout the paired writing assignment. But now that I've given it some thought, I see that
in order to ensure a more organized approach to their artistic expression, there should be more
precise guidelines for the inclusion of particular poetic components in their poetry. The last
performance exercise offered a novel and engaging approach to enhance the comprehension
of emotions in poetry. Students performed on stage while holding slips of paper with themes
related to emotions on them. But given the diversity of my pupils, I ought to think about
modifying this task to accommodate various learning preferences. The solutions that were put
in place to address expected issues—like giving clear definitions and fostering a supportive
environment—were successful in reducing possible difficulties. Nonetheless, continuous
efforts are required to build acceptance and confidence in all students, particularly in those
who are reluctant to share personal poems.

This self-evaluation concludes by highlighting the poetry demo lesson's advantages

and pointing out its shortcomings. Further poetry lessons can provide seventh-grade students
with an even more inclusive and enjoyable experience by further customizing activities to a
wide range of learning styles, improving teaching tactics, and introducing clearer directions.
