Topic > Online Form for Poetry, The River - 2416

1.0 INTRODUCTION Our group designed an online form and published it as a blog using Blogger. Our blog URL is http://theriverpoem.blogspot.com/. Our online form, or in this case our blog, focuses on a poem called The River. The River is a poem written by Valerie Bloom and is included in our literature component of Module 1. The main aim of our online module is to expose students (particularly Module 1 students) to the poem, The River. At the same time, it is also used to promote e-learning among students. As this poem is included in the Literature component of Module 1, it is very important that students know everything about it. So, through our online module, students can know everything about poetry. We have five main sections, namely "Poet", "Poetry", "Analysis", "Activities" and "Entertainment", to help students navigate our blog. They can read about the poet in the "Poet" section. They can listen to the poem in the "Poetry" section. Additionally, they can proceed to analyze the poem in the "Analysis" section. In the "Analysis" section there are synopsis, background, setting, character, themes, lessons learned, tone and mood, language, style and literary devices. After completing all the analysis, students can check their understanding by doing the interactive activities in the "Activities" section. There are seven interactive activities to enhance student learning. Finally, in the "Entertainment" section, we've incorporated six games to make all learning fun. We firmly believe that through these interactive activities and games, students can definitely learn more effectively. To develop our online form, we used various tools and applications.
