STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aimed to analyze the process of teaching and learning of poetry on the basis of the CHED standard competencies in teaching poetry. The study was conducted in the selected tertiary institutions in the cities of Tagbilaran and Cebu. Specifically, it sought to find out the teaching – learning activities in the three phases of a lesson namely: pre-lesson, lesson proper and post lesson. It also looked into the psychomotor, cognitive and affective competencies achieved on the whole lesson cycle. Students’ feedbacks to the teaching – learning process were also gathered. As an offshoot of this study, an instructional module for poetry was designed. The study utilized the qualitative method with data analysis as the technique. The researcher observed each class twice. Classroom observation field notes were compiled. Each observation was summarized and compared in order to draw appropriate conclusions and interpretations. Interview of students through a Focused Group Discussion was also done. The study was conducted in four universities namely: Holy Name University and Bohol Island State University, University of San Jose – Recoletos and University of San Carlos.

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…

    The bedroom poems of the 18th century was a new piece of literature introduced to me. I like how these poems were so detailed and made you cringe from the sights that were being portrayed. Both Behn and Rochester were two extremely strong poets who use sexual encounters to display gender and power roles among both men and women in the 18th century. In this close reading I will use “The Disappointment” by Behn and “The Imperfect Enjoyment” by Rochester to analyze the ideal of power.…

    In this report, I will describe a teacher and her students in an observation I did in a 8th grade of Liceo de San Miguel in Desamparados which is known as a problematic high school due to constantly problems of drugs and alcohol in some of its students. The purpose of this report is to reflect on the teacher’s class organization strategies and class environment in relation with what I have learned in the class of Didactics 1 from the professor Jonnathan Elizondo in the U.I.A. Throughout this paper, a variety of organization techniques will be describe. In order to understand better the method that the teacher used during this observation; is it very important recall that Grammar Translation Method is one of the most traditional methods and it was originally used to translate messages during World War I. Indeed, this method involves little or no spoken communication or listening comprehension. Even though, Grammar Translation Method is out of date, in this class I could observe the use of this method probably because it requires only few demands on the teacher and it could be least stressful for the students.…

    “Shall I compare thee to a summer 's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.” This line is from sonnet 18 and it is one of the best known of William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. William Shakespeare is the man who created beautiful poetry and he influenced people to create their own. In today’s modern day society, whether it’s widely read or not, poetry has the ability to be considerably moving and to truly touch people. Poetry is relevant and interesting in today’s society because it expresses a great array and depth of people’s feelings, it makes the reader connect with the poem, and it has a unique value. Also poetry is second-hand in music because in most hip-hop songs the words rhyme and create a rhyming couplet. Pursuing this further, poetry is a very powerful thing and it should be included in today’s up-to-date society.…
