From the supplier: Poetry differs from prose because of its brevity and conciseness. A technique on how to craft a poem using few words is given. It includes motivating the students to picture in their mind a familiar scene, listing the scene's details in a notebook, asking some students to write the lists on the chalkboard for brainstorming, distributing a brief poem as an example to the class, discussing that poem with the class and asking the students to write their own compact poem. An example of a compact poem which can be discussed with the class is Siv Cedering's 'When It Is Snowing.'
