What you will be doing
TIP: Pick a topic that has an opposite.
Use page 17 of your poetry techniques booklet to help write your Diamante poem.
Use page 18 to write the drafts of your poem/s.
Have your draft checked with either myself or Mrs Rickwood.
Choose a colour and collect a 3D Diamante poem activity sheet.
Before you cut you must write your poem on the centre of your Diamante with your name
(the hexagon shape). Ensure your poem remains in the shape of a Diamante poem.
Follow the instructions on how to make your 3D Diamante on the sheet.
Once you have cut, bring your Diamante to me to create a hole which will allow you to
place your string and hang your Diamante up!
Glue it nicely together and enjoy your poem come to life!
