Digtforløb Jeg plejer at lave et digtforløb i 7. klasse, hvor eleverne møder forskellige typer af digte som oplæg til egne digterier. Som afslutning på emnet skal de vælge et af deres digte og fremstille en photo story, som de oploader til klassens kanal på skoletube. Så laver jeg en julekalender i wix, som forældrene kan hygge sig med i december måned. I digtsamlingen har jeg tre digte, som alle udtrykker noget om fremtidsplaner. Efter arbejdet med disse tre digte skal eleverne selvfølgelig selv skrive et future poem, som kan hedde ”When I Grow Up”, ”When I am an old man/woman”, ”New Year Resolutions”, ”I’m going to…” eller noget helt andet. Men kravet er, at de skal gøre brug af fremtidsformer i digtet. Af ophavsmæssige årsager kan jeg ikke gengive alle digtene her, men jeg har fået tilladelse til at gengive Ken Nesbitts digt ”I’m Learning to Play the Piano Today” her på Sproglærerens hjemmeside. Lige for tiden kan man desuden downloade det som lydfil på hans hjemmeside. (Han skifter jævnligt ud i de digte, man kan se og lytte til). Derudover bruger jeg Jenny Josephs vidunderlige digt ”Warning”, som kan ses på youtube enten oplæst af forfatteren selv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cACbzanitg&feature=related eller i en skøn fortolkning af en meget ung skuespiller: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr1RU4SM2L8&feature=related Jeg bruger også et digt, ”I’m Going to Be Fine”, fra en amatørdigterside for at få going to med i oplæggene. Digtet kan findes her: http://www.lovepoetry.com/poem.asp?x_id=83155 Opgaverne går på alle tre digte. Løsning til Jenny Josephs ”Warning”: THE FUTURE IS COMING CLOSER I’m Learning to Play the Piano Today by Ken Nesbitt I’m learning to play the piano today Tomorrow I’ll learn to play the guitar The day after that I’ll get good on the drums So I can become a big star The next day I’ll learn how to sing and to rap And practice some dancing techniques And that way I’m sure to be famous and rich In no more than one or two weeks I just told my mother my excellent plan Explaining the millions I’ll earn She told me that firstly I’ll need to learn patience So how long does that take to learn?

And how is she expected to live her life at the moment? So what is she going to do now, before she gets old? And why does she have to change things right now? How would you like your life to be as an old man or woman?
