It is facinating to read the works by young teenagers! Alliteration, Personification, Symbolism, Similes and Metaphors are but some of the poetic devices students explored in creative writing projects in their Grade-7 English Language Arts class. Personalized Learning Principles were used during the Poetry Unit: students learned by inquiry, used technology, and chose how to present their learning and understanding of poetry.
One of the choices was to enter their poems to this "Anthology of Colours," in celebration of their achievements and to share their work.
