Poems by Tony Mitton

Have a look at these poems

For our next meeting, do these activities

• Enlarge each of the poems by another couplet, following the style
  
  
• As regards phonological teaching points
  
  - what would you exploit on l.1 and ls.13 & 14?
  - what would you contrast on l.15 cf. l.24?
  - which stressing patterns would you mark in the compounds present in the texts?
  - which phrasal verbs would you deal with?
  
  
• Other lines you propose to analyse?
  
  
• How would you teach your findings? (Bring the concrete activities well designed )

Base your work on the principles we discussed after your first round of observations, and your own self-experience. Determine the age and level of the goal group you have in mind while devising this project.

The aim of this activity is to strike on workable and realistic procedures to activate the phonological aspects in the language class.

And... last of all... Have the poems ready to be enjoyed! They saw the light of day as raps... You may try!
