Did you know that the writers who create ESL Library lessons and resources are all ESL teachers or former teachers?
That's just one of the reasons we love receiving poetry, stories, and paragraphs that students write while doing ESL Library lessons.
In our Remembrance Day lesson, we challenge students to write acrostic poetry and share it with our team. Here are some poetry submissions we received this November from a low-intermediate LINC class in Toronto, Ontario. Thank you to Kosta and his class for sharing this writing with us!
Student Poetry
Poem #1
Remembrance Day
Essential day
Many people lost a loved one
Ended of the war must be done
Be peaceful, remember the war
Against the war, no more the war
Celebrate the peace
Everyone will be happy
By Momoko, Anibal and Zhi Sheng
Poem #2
Very important
Eating and drinking
Tomorrow it'll be coming
Email to me
Remember it
Answer and reply
Notice it on your calendar
Send it to me
By Coco
Poem #3
Remembering our veterans
Enormous respect
Many left behind the family who were
Eager to see them again
More peace, no war
By wearing the poppy we remember,
Each that fell
Rising like the sun every day
Don't forget them
Anually we honour the past
Yesterday is not forgotten
By Milena Nessi
Poem #4
Red color
Email me
May I have
Enough for me
Many years
Best of luck
Raise your hand
At a time
Never mind
Call me
Excellent place
By Israt, Alice, and Coco
Poem #5
Voters are protesting
Eat your food
Trumpet is a bass horn
End your day in a happy way
Remembrance Day is a poppy day
Are you okay
No one here
Can you hear?
By Rania, Gadha, and Milena
Pronunciation Work
Here is some pronunciation work these writers did while working on their poetry from our Holidays & Events lesson. We're so happy to see students working with pronunciation symbols. We hope you're enjoying our Pronunciation lessons, too.
Keep up the great work, LINC class! And most importantly, thank you for remembering our veterans.
