Post-reading: What is appropriate for advanced learners as a post-reading activity? No focus on creativity anymore. Are there any ideas that you have in order to make the students get a deeper understanding of poetry and the theme of Caribbean English?
What would you want your students to do after reading the poem? Think of good and bad ways to deepen their understanding of the poem/Caribbean poetry in general.
  • Please place the good ideas in one area of the Padlet and the worse ideas in another area.
  • Above you can find an example for Hispanic poetry taken from a coursebook (Klett Green Line Oberstufe).
