Abstract

Students frequently feel helpless to write a poem. However, the emergency of online classes during the pandemic period opens up space for students to cultivate the use of the internet and digital platforms to enhance their poetry writing. This research explores students’ critical reflection when using online design graphics as a tool for practicing to write micro poetry. The study involved thirty students in the second-year of English department. The tasks are divided into three stages of the creative writing process: investigation, drafting, and reflection. Following a social media exploration, the curiosity to dive into different kinds of online patterns and figures increases classroom activity engagement. The result of the research pointed to the improvement of students’ critical thinking, reflective practices, and micro-poetry-writing abilities. Students are becoming accustomed to the connection between the pictures and the language used during the drafting process. The reflection revealed an unusually objective and critical reflection; they said, “my design fits into my micro poetry, it frames my words.”
