In the trenches
Our task today was to write a poem about WWI and life in the trenches. Before we could write our poem we needed to know how it would feel to be in the trenches. In order to experience this we created a trench in the classroom and listened to sound effects. We then came up with ideas about the conditions in the trenches, using the 5 senses we came up with: hearing sounds of the wounded, the feeling of being cramped and the smell.

What a great way to be inspired for your writing! I look forward to reading your poetry using this range of poetic devices. I have already seen a fantastic war themed poem by Oscar - pop over to my blog to see the quality of his writing.
