'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan. <- It's a picture book, but you don't have to relate the entire picture book to your text/poetry. Just relate a specific picture from that book to a specific poem. i.e.


If you're doing the poem 'Migrant Hostel', you can link the picture 'Harbour' to it.

If you're doing the poem "St. Patrick's College', then you can link the picture 'Market' to it.

Just google it, and you will find the pix there.

Good luck; )

This is purely out of my curiosity (so no offence intended). What have you been doing for English the past half-year?

Btw, wrong section of forum.

it totally depends on wat you what to say about belonging, ie whether it depends on culture, parents, religion... but they're really common. i'm talking about how in order to belong, an individual must give up part of their identity or anothe rpart of their life in order to do this. i'm working with mean girls (i know, common belonging text), "the kiss" by klimt, and either the picture book: "the lost thing" or harry potter, or twilight series.

for cultural belonging, i found a good poem, "my dark eyed daughter" but the only problem is of course... it's a poem :( but you could still use it if you're running low on ideas...
