Ik had tegen Fiene gezegd dat ik ook wel mee zou doen, ik moet mijn hersens wel aan het werk houden, anders worden ze maar stroperig ;-)
Het was de bedoeling dat we in de eerste weken een gedicht van Rudyard Kipling uit ons hoofd gingen leren, maar we vonden dat niet zo'n heel interessant gedicht. Ik had al eens eerder op de Mensa for Kids een leuk lesplan gezien om een jaar lang iedere maand een ander gedicht uit je hoofd te leren. Dat vond ik er toen ook al leuk uit zien, dus die had ik bewaard: A Year of Living Poetically.
Fiene vond het eerste gedicht ook leuk, dus daar zijn we mee aan de slag gegaan: No Man Is An Island van John Donne.
Ik had wat zitten googlen en had met de tips en werkbladen van A Year of LIving Poetically en een paar youtube filmpjes een klein lesplannetje in elkaar gedraaid dat we de afgelopen twee weken hebben gedaan. We vonden het allebei heel leuk om te doen!
Fiene kent 'm natuurlijk al lang uit haar hoofd, en ik inmiddels ook ;-)
Dit is het lesplannetje:
Dag 1:
Begin to memorize the poem No Man Is An Island by John Donne:
Read through the poem carefully and slowly and out loud. It’s okay if you don’t get it all right away. Just read it, letting the language flow out of your mouth. Read worksheet ‘Taking it apart’.
Dag 2:
Voorgelezen: Wordplay - Poetry - No Man is an Island by John Donne

Dag 3:
Copy the poem over in your own handwriting, writing on every other line. Try to keep the lines and stanzas on your paper the same as in the original poem. Do worksheet ‘Memorizing it - Can you fill in the next word?’.

Dag 4:
Read the poem out loud again.
PJ Harvey - No Man Is An Island (brexit protest). Do worksheet ‘Memorizing it - Can you give the next line? ’.
Read the poem out loud again.
PJ Harvey - No Man Is An Island (brexit protest). Do worksheet ‘Memorizing it - Can you give the next line? ’.
Memorize first stanza: Using an index card or a piece of paper, cover up all of the poem except the first line. Say that line over to yourself three times. Now, gaze off into space for a moment and try to say the line from memory. Repeat this with the rest of the lines in the stanza, saying the lines you have already worked on, too. If the poem is not divided into stanzas, divide it yourself into groups of three or four lines.
Dag 6:
"No Man is an Island" by John Donne (read by Helen Mirren)
Memorize second stanza: Once you have one stanza down, go to the next one, again working line by line. Put those two stanzas together.

Dag 8:
You will think you have it down pat, and you will be wrong. It will take practice to move this information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. To practice, follow the ideas below:
- write the first letter of each word on an index card and practice with the card, using the letters to prompt you
- record yourself reading the poem and listen to it (if you can load it on an iPod or MP3 player, that is awesome practice)
- say the poem out loud when you are walking by yourself
recite to your parents (serious brownie points)
- say it while you are in the shower, drying your hair, or exercising (repetitive motion like a foot striking the track will help get the pattern of the poem in your mind)
- write it out over and over
- think it to yourself when you are bored in class
