Poetry-six room process

Today we did a lesson poetry and sound devises.

The process of the six room process starts off with room one which you think off a photograph or image that you think is amazing or interesting. Then in room 2 you think off the colors and lighting of the image and in room 3 you think off the sounds that can be or you think could be heard in the image.In room 4 you put down any questions you have about the image and in room 5 you put down the feelings you have about it.In room six you have to repeat a important bit of information 3 times.Then right a poem about what information you have written down.

 

This is the poem i have written using the information I wrote down.

The place was dark

The lighthouse stood as the rough waves hit the rocks

Grey and black devoured the area

The man stood wondering what was happening

then the wave hit

 

Goal reflection

I learnt from this lesson what sound devises truly are and how they are used in poetry.Most of this i already knew because i already did a lesson on it the year before.

I was trying to make it look like a irritated eye and and it green because that’s my favorite color.Iv’e always liked that part of the body for how complex it.

I think it looks good and i put a bit of effort into it but i don’t think it was enough in the end. I think i could of added more things in the background to make it not as boring and to make it look better.
