This project has already been realized in many schools and institutions. First, students read poetry and write their own simple poems, which are then beautifully decorated and presented, either at an exhibition or as a book. This is even better if the exhibition or book includes poems in other languages and dialects (with the translation). To create one’s own poems, the popular “building plan“ for the “Eleven Poems“ can be used. It consists of eleven words, which are distributed over five lines as follows:
Line 1:
1 word (adjective, possibly a noun), e. g. a color or feeling
Line 2:
2 words (noun with article) (what it is, what is it about…)
Line 3:
3 words (short description) (what is it doing?)
Line 4:
4 words (short I-sentence) (what are you doing?)
Line 5:
1 word (adjective) (the most important idea in one word)
