All The Colours Of The Rainbow
|
Writing a poem can be a big self-esteem booster to someone learning English. This is because they have something to "perform" at the end and feel good about. This is a simple poem that beginners on up can do. |
1. Start out by brainstorming colours. Make a list.
2. Next take
each colour and associate things that go with the
colour. 3. This can
be done by writing each colour on a piece of paper and
circulating them around the room. Ask students to add
anything they associate with a colour on the piece of
paper. For example, blue=sky, ocean, flowers, ribbon,
bird, lake, eyes, mosaic and so on; 4. After the
colours have circulated around the room and lists have
been made, show the students the comparative form when
two things are equal: asÉÉ.as. 5. Write on
the board All the colours of the rainbow 6. Tell the
students they are going to write a short poem about
colours using the asÉas comparative form. To
do this they chose six colours and something they associate
with each colour. The first line of the poem starts
with All the colours of the rainbow. 7. Here is
an example of a finished poem:
