Evaluation of Protest Poetry Unit in Term 3

Term 3 was a huge term for English, and as for our "normal" English class, our main topic/theme was Protest Poetry. There was so much to learn, but before we started learning about Protest Poetry, we looked at other poetry or even songs. This is because songs may follow the poetic technique uses for their lyrics and structure throughout the piece of music. Such songs we looked at was "Paved Paradise". There was also another poem we looked at called the "Outsiders"???... It was quite a confusing poem. (Personally ^o^)
What I learnt through studying the unit in terms of poetic techniques was that poetic techniques actually do help and bring a different mood, expression, feeling, movement, action and so on to do the poem / song. I also learnt that there were a lot and a lot of poetic techniques that exist, but it happens so that most poems / songs use only a few techniques. I can see that repetition and rhyming are the most popular. Something else I learnt was that poets express their point of view through their compostition by of course as I said before, using "poetic techniques." But it's not only that, they may also do it by inserting and putting beautiful words or lyrics in the poem or maybe an extraodinarily different kind of structured poem or something that's totally differnet from what a normal poem should be like. That would surprise the reader of the poem... =]
I enjoyed analysing my own poem that I did for my oral assignment in Term 3. It was called "The Bells of Heaven". This was because the poem was extremely meaningful and powerful. Also, I enjoyed it because in when we were still working on this assignment, I was the only student in the class to choose doing a topic on "Animal Cruelty", whereas everyone did things mainly about the war, which I find would be boring. So, I decided to lighten my oral up by doing a different topic to everyone else. Also, I enjoyed analysing this poem, because it's actually quite fun to read it and it is an EXTREMELY SHORT piece of poetry. Almost everyone else in the class did a poetry more than 15 ~ 20 lines, whereas mine was exactly 10 lines. So, it was a lot quicker and easier for me to analyse, therefore I enjoyed it. =] (Good lucky shortcut!)
I would rate this unit in terms of learnt experienes and texts that I enjoyed overall [7.5 out of 10]... Well if I rate it out of five: [About 3.75 out of 5]... I must agree it was a great unit, but poetry isn't for me. I don't really like poetry, but I liked because I already about 95% of the poetry techniques that Mrs Pignier taught the class. It is a pretty good term, it felt like we sped through learning everything. Although, to honestly speak, the learning experiences were quite boring and the songs and poetry we analysed for a start and basic understand for Protest Poetry were quite dragging on and confusing (to me)... Otherwise, everything else was pretty good in English in Term 3. I will be hoping Term 4 turning out great!
