Poetry

We are poets!  We are learning to see like poets, read like poets and write like poets. These are some of the strategies that we are using as poets:

Poets find a big topic that gives them a big feeling. 

Poets find a small moment, detail or object that holds that big feeling. 

Poets look with poets' eyes and see this thing in a new way. 

Poets write about it, experimenting with line breaks. 

The excitement for reading, writing and sharing poetry has grown each day.
