How can I make poetry more engaging for my learners
Please read the following poem by Fhazel Johennesse and answer the
questions that follow.
THE AFRICAN POT
it is round and fat and squat it has no
handle and the rim has no spout at first it
seems as if the colours have no
coordination and no rhythm the yellow and
brown stripes circle the pot in quick
diagonals
i puzzle over the absence of the handle and
then suddenly i think of a young woman
wearing beads walking to a river with the pot
gracefully balanced on her head
and then the colours begin to rhyme yellow
zigzagging around the top makes me think of
harvest time of golden corn of dances around
an autumn fire of ripe fruit and of men drinking
homebrewed beer
, and as I stroke the brown i can almost feel the
full earth between my fingers earth that echoes
thunderous stamp of warriors going to war
earth that offers base accompaniment to
dancing feet I can almost see an ox pulling a
plough steered by man of infinite patience
making ordered upturned loam

Question 2
The poet has chosen to discard some conventions of English language. As an
English FAL teacher, you must point this out to your students.
In a short paragraph, and in your own words, identify the language conventions that
have been discarded. Then explain why these rules are normally important, and why
a poet is allowed to ignore the rules of grammar.

As an English FAL teacher, you need to identify vocabulary that you might need to

understand them. (10)
Question 4
