After discussing the poem: its rhythm, message, choice of words and rhyme, I ask the students to choose a social/ethnic group in society such as the emos (at least they appeared in Argentina), the hippies, the hipsters, etc and write a poem about them with rhymes :)
Along the years, they have left me speechless, really!! They have engaged so much with the activity; they have discussed their views and, actually, their prejudices towards those groups , and have even had to do some research before plunging into the adventure of creating their poem !!
Just as a mere example of what I have enjoyed, I leave you with one of my groups`creation :)
PS: I would appreciate your comments :)
