My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and a Praise Poem, or isibongo  is the traditional way

for Africans to introduce themselves in a new situation.

IALT write a traditional Praise Poem, to introduce myself to the class.

Success Criteria:

I will explore the subject of African praise poetry,

I will take risks, and use imagery to reveal myself in poetic form.

I will follow the structure of a typical African Praise poem.

I will perform my poem to an audience, maybe using drums.

Structure:

Line 1 -       Introducing myself.

Line 2 –           Introduction to my family and heritage.
Line 3 -       Animal metaphor
Line 4 –        Nature metaphor
Line 5 –        Personality and Qualities
Chorus -           Refrain describing my talents, co-written by my peers.

My reflection: In this poem I liked how it was all about us, who we are and the alteration 
for my sister but I didn't like how we had to get our classmates to choose our refrain.
Next time I will be more independent with my nature reference and my animal phrase.
