Grade 10 List Poems

For the new Grade 10s .......

 (Thanks to the Adobe Youth Voices Program)

List Poem writing stimulates creative thinking about identity and issues you might care about. In this way we can get to know you.
Follow the activity steps below. 

Save ALL your rough work for your Term 1 process poster which you will also display!


1. People say I ____________________ 

2. Sometimes I struggle to ____________________ 

3. I wish I could speak to/for ___________________

4. I create _________________________ 

5. My community is ______________________

6. We can change _________________________ 




The List Poem Activity creates an opportunity for young people to represent the lines from their list poems visually and metaphorically using magazine cut-outs, photos and drawings within six storyboard frames. This introduces  the storyboard concept and primes the pump for metaphorical thinking. 

Look at the link below for photographic tips.

Remember - still beginner steps - don't get too complicated. What can you do already????
