Peace Poems and Dulce Reflection

Starter 10: Peace Organization
In groups, everyone:

  • Describes their peace organization
  • Shares the 3 most important things they learned about their organization
Discuss, decide, then write:
  • Which organization is most effective?  Why?
  • Which organization is most inspiring?  Why?
  • 3 questions about one of the organizations.

Peace Poem
Write a poem inspired by one of the peace organizations you learned about today.  Your poem should:
  • Have a clear perspective
  • Have at least one turn
  • Use metaphors and/or similes to make your imagery more rich and accessible

Dulce Seminar Reflection
Answer the following 3 questions in typed and well-organized paragraphs.  For question 2, you MUST quote and refer to the text of the poem to receive full credit!
  • React to one of your classmate's comments from the seminar.  Agree, disagree, explain what it makes you think...  My notes for seminar are linked here:  Lori's Seminar Notes
  • Explain what this poem is trying to communicate about war. Discuss at least two devices the author uses, and how they effect the reader's experience and the message of the poem.
  • What have you learned from this seminar process about reading and interpreting poetry?  Use specific examples or anecdotes to back up what you say!
