LIT 102-Week 2- 2nd-6th November 2020 Blog by Tatyana Browne

During this week's sessions we finished our presentations with the genre poetry. It was a very informative and the PowerPoint was made with appropriate and well understood content that helped me to understand more in depth about poetry. Poetry is often viewed ad boring and unexciting, and I was a culprit of that stance. After listening to the presentation my viewpoint and perspective changed tremendously. in order for one to really enjoy poetry, we must understand the genre for what is about and entails.


We also looked at the different poetic forms such as: color poems, preposition poems, wish poems, acrostic poems, bilingual poems, concrete poems, haikus and cinquains poems, syllable and word count poems, free verse poems and List poems, just to name a few. These poems are very interesting, not only in the way they sound but their characteristics as well. while researching I came across one poetic form that peaked my interest and I liked very much. This was the concrete poem. This poem is written in the shape of what the main subject. 


Example:-                                                Trees.

                                                              The trees

                                                           Keep me free

                                                        As I walk around

                                                      To let my soul flow

                                                                  f

                                                                  r

                                                                  e

                                                                  e

                                                                  l

                                                                  y

                                                         In the breeze.

How exciting, smart, beautiful, creative, Need I say more?


Last but not least, we recapped about the five stages of the writing process: pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing where we were given new material to expand our knowledge.

We learned about the Key concepts and activities that are done during the different processes.

This weeks sessions were very effective and enjoyable.

  LIT102- Week1- 26th-30th October 2020 Blog by Tatyana Browne November 03rd 2020 During this weeks LIT sessions we were given the task in groups of creating PowerPoint presentation on the five different genres of writing. The genres were persuasive writing, narrative writing, descriptive writing, expository writing and poetry writing.  These presentations delivered during this weeks presentations were very informative as I learned and gained so much information. Each genre of writing are unique and different in their own way. My group which consisted of Robvecia Hazel and I, were assigned the genre of persuasive writing. Upon researching, I came across many interesting facts. for instance, I never really understood that persuasive writing requires solid arguments and facts to back up your opinion. We also focused on the definition and the elements of persuasive writing such as; the characteristics, the organization, the types and how it is assessed. It was very interesting....
