- LI: To understand poetry can transform everyday life into something meaningful. Poets use various techniques to make this happen, creating specific feelings and moods for the reader.
For our reading we were tasked a challenge of recording ourselves recite a poem, and specifically one of Hone Tuwhare’s famous poems, called ‘ Rain ‘. We first listened to Hone Tuwhare himself, reading his masterpeice, then we had to try imitate the way he said it, but not fully copying the way he said it. I found that this challenge was really enjoyable !
