Poem Writing Activity Guidelines

Introduction
Welcome to the Poem Writing Activity! In this activity, you will write a poem inspired by a
book you’ve read. The goal is to use your creativity to express themes, emotions, or key
moments from the story. This activity will help you deepen your understanding of the book
and develop your writing skills.

Guidelines

1. Choosing Your Focus


Decide what you want your poem to focus on. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
- Write about a major theme in the book (e.g., friendship, courage, love).
- Describe a specific scene or setting from the story.
- Express the thoughts or emotions of a character.
- Explore the book’s message or moral.

2. Writing Your Poem


Follow these steps to write your poem:
- **Choose a Poem Style**: Decide whether your poem will rhyme, follow a specific
structure (e.g., haiku, acrostic), or be free verse.
- **Start with Brainstorming**: Write down words, phrases, or ideas connected to your
chosen focus.
- **Use Descriptive Language**: Bring your poem to life by including vivid imagery and
strong emotions.
- **Keep It Concise**: Aim for a poem that is between 8 and 16 lines long.

3. Editing and Revising


After writing your first draft, take some time to revise your poem:
- Check for spelling and grammar mistakes.
- Make sure your poem clearly connects to the book.
- Enhance your language by adding metaphors, similes, or other poetic devices.
- Read your poem aloud to ensure it flows smoothly.

4. Sharing Your Poem

can:
- Share your poem in small groups for feedback and discussion.
