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.
FINDINGS
The findings are as follows: 1. Although teachers of poetry all utilized an eclectic approach to teaching poetry, the paraphrastic approach dominated all other approaches.

    Central Focus Strategy

    • 1276 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Using this standard, the focus is the essential literacy strategy of demonstrating and explaining the vocabulary (components) pertaining to and the creation of poetry. The objectives are scaffolded beginning with the first lesson’s literacy objective requiring students to comprehend and explain stanzas and verses in poetry. The expectation of students is that they will be able to identify and explain how verses, or lines, are used to create stanzas in poetry. The students will need to identify and explain their reasoning when encountering a poem that has had its verses changed into a sentence, and the students will have to demonstrate where they believe the verses begin and end by drawing lines and explaining why they felt that the line placement is justified. This in turn, allows related skills for the next objective, identifying and explain rhythm, the patterns they create, in poetry. By using a close reading strategy of creating vertical lines for each singular or multisyllabic word in each verse in a given stanza or whole poem. Knowing my students prior knowledge of creating syllables, students will use additional reading strategies of identifying syllables by clapping or placing a hand under the chin and counting how many times their hand descends when speaking a word. This allows students to visually and physically identify the syllables that create the rhythm in poetry. Students will read several different types of poetry to themselves and will first identify the syllables in a given poem and will then explain how they arrived at their opinion in a teacher lead discussion within their group. Students will be given an assessment which will allow the teacher to assess their comprehension of the second lesson which will allow the students to better understand the third lesson pertaining to the standard. The third lesson addresses the standard’s objective by introducing and focusing on modeling…

    Among the vast variety of poems that exist, only a few stand out. The same is true about poets, in that readers may sometimes identify a poem to its poet. The measure of a poet's consistency in his poems is measured by how easily identifiable his or her poems are to the reader. An effective poet will develop a unique style and slowly build upon that. In history many poets have placed their mark and enveloped a unique style of their own. A poet's style involves not only the subject matter about which he or she writes, but also the technique in which the poet presents that material to the reader. The way a poem meshes in together and creates a natural flow from one idea to the next is crucial to the makeup of that poet's style, regardless of the topic. The art of writing poetry, then, involves creating a rare technique that individualizes the poet.…

    Esl Class Observation

    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.…
