This has led us to explore what elements make up (or don&#8217;t make up) a poem, and how we can decide what is poem and prose.\u00a0Sometimes the answer isn&#8217;t so clear cut, but students have shown a remarkable perseverance in tackling this often difficult question. Below is a poem (?) we discussed in class. Students were asked to answer the question &#8220;Is this a poem and why?&#8221; Attached is a wonderful and deep response from student Winnie, with the poem below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10187\" src=\"http:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1-424x600.jpg\" alt=\"20151007100337157_00011\" width=\"300\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1-424x600.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00011-1.jpg 848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10188\" src=\"http:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1-424x600.jpg\" alt=\"20151007100337157_00021\" width=\"300\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1-424x600.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.i-learner.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151007100337157_00021-1.jpg 848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Red Wheelbarrow<\/span> by William Carlos Williams<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">so much depends<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">upon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">a red wheel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">barrow<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">glazed with rain<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">water<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">beside<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the white chickens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my Friday Critical Reading and Writing Level 4 classes, we have been\u00a0considering the question &#8220;What is a poem?&#8221; recently.
