Serious problems to AVOID
34
Problem 1
35
Entry 1
Theme: Food
Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper,
French almond rock..
Bread and butter for your supper,
That’s all mother’s got.
Fish and chips and coca-cola,
Put them in a pan,
Irish stew and ice-cream soda,
We’ll eat all we can.
36
Entry 1
Theme: Food (Cont’d)
Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper,
French almond rock..
Bread and butter for your supper,
That’s all mother’s got.
Eggs and bacon, salted herring,
Put them in a pot.
Pickled onions, apple pudding,
We will eat a lot.
37
What’s the problem with Entry 1?
Ans: Lack originality/plagiarism.
This poem has been published.
Student probably has just
downloaded it from the internet
and made slight amendment.
38
What’s the problem with Entry 2?
Ans: Originality.
This poem is a mere reproduction
of a classic fairy tale in a poetic
form.
Remarks for Teachers:
Teachers are advised to guide students to be more
creative and to produce original entry, e.g. by
changing the characters or the ending of the fairy tale.
39
• What are the problems with Entry 3?
•
Ans:
Student’s name and class are shown on the
entry.
This violates BPA’s rule: “All poems are
judged anonymously and the name of the
author must not appear on the
manuscript/student entry form”.
