The Experience of ‘reading’ a poem… EnglishMethods2XKervinTut8-16Sept138 Teaching and Learning Strategies…  On Language: What words / phrases stood out? What is happening in the poem? What images are presented? What sounds do we hear? What feelings are evoked?  On Form: Can you say anything about the shape of the poem? Are there patterns? Where is the reader’s eye taken? What effects do line length / punctuation have on the reader?

The Experience of ‘reading’ a poem… EnglishMethods2XKervinTut8-16Sept139 Teaching and Learning Strategies…  On Observation: What is the writer really looking at, either outside or inside him/herself? How are you, the reader, positioned as an onlooker?  On Feeling: What feelings are conveyed during the poem at different points? Do they change? Do you share them?
