I think that this Project, “My Poetry Blog” has been a great learning experience for me because it not only allowed me to reflect upon poetry, but also upon myself. For example, during the process of completing the post on “My history of reading poetry” I reflected upon my childhood memories of when I began to enjoy reading poetry.
I also reflected upon my personal history while I was completing the post of “How this poem relates to me”. My personal history is similar to the father's, but I wasn’t the parent that suffered the loss of a child, I was the sibling who lost their older sister. I can truly say that this poem by Ben Johnson, “On my First Daughter”, has really affected me. It has allowed me to think differently about my sister’s death, and think positively rather than grieving over her death.
This Project has also, allowed me to recall when I first began to read poetry, and compare how simple poetry was to me back in elementary compare and how complicated it is to me now. But, even though it can get difficult I can also say that this project has allowed me to enjoy poetry and find a greater meaning within a poem. I had also learned to relate to the poem I read and ask myself questions as I read them.
This project has also integrated technology with literature. This opportunity allowed me to enjoy the project more. For example, I was more motivated to complete the assignment on a blog rather than writing a research paper on the poem of my choice, which was “On My First Daughter.” Being motivated, gave me the opportunity to give my best effort into my final project.
I can truly say that this poetry blog has allowed me to view poetry differently and with a positive view.
