This presentation (49 Slides) delves into the expansive world of poetry - its definition, types, creation, and its all-encompassing presence in our daily lives. The workshop also included multiple exercises to stimulate creativity and engage participants in writing their own poems.
The workshop begins with a warm-up activity and a review of the basics: what is poetry, who writes it, where it can be found, and examples of famous poets and poems.
Then, the presentation delves into the technical aspects of poetry, including figurative language, meter, speaker, subject, sound and rhythm, rhyme and rhyme scheme, theme, syntax, structure, form, tone, and mood.
The session emphasises that poetry is not limited to traditional forms but can be found in song lyrics and even in social media platforms and everyday conversations. This is demonstrated through a game of identifying whether certain lines were from Shakespeare’s works or popular song lyrics.
The ‘9 dots 4 lines Challenge’ introduces creative thinking and ‘thinking outside the box’
The second section off the session focuses on the creative process of poem writing, including preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and implementation.
Participants are encouraged to note down their ideas and start writing using a variety of prompts provided to kickstart the writing process.
Lastly, participants are encouraged to read, share, and re-write their poems, all while maintaining a positive and constructive attitude towards their work.
The canal is home to a diverse range of wildlife. This includes various birds, mammals, insects, and fish. Whether day or night, there’s always something to spot!
Birds such as Mallard Ducks, Mute Swans, Waterhens, and Coots are common along the canal. The Kingfisher, known for its bright blue and orange feathers, can also be seen flying quickly along the water’s edge.
Gray Herons, Water Voles, Brown Rats, and Weasels represent some of the mammalian life around the canal. In more wooded areas, you might find Gray Squirrels.
At dusk, you might glimpse bats, like the Common Pipistrelle, hunting insects. Other common sightings include Dragonflies and various fish species such as Pike, Roach, and Carp.
Amphibians like Frogs and Toads are frequently found near canals.
Bird species like the Crested Grebe and Canada Goose are also common visitors. Keep an eye out for Rabbits around dawn and dusk.
Nocturnal and shy animals like Badgers, Foxes, and Hedgehogs can occasionally be spotted.
Many species of Butterflies and Shrews are also common during the warmer months.
Songbirds like blackbirds, robins, and wrens can be heard and seen along the canal, as can Bumblebees during spring and summer. Although elusive, Otters have been making a comeback in UK waterways. You might also see different duck species other than Mallards.
With such rich biodiversity, a walk along the canal can feel like a mini safari!
