Poetry is something I LOVE to introduce my young learners to. For many, it's the first time they have heard the word. We read Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, Shel Silverstein and others. We discuss the vocabulary and how poets need to be very succinct with their language. We watch videos of poems being read by people like Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou. How poetry can actually change the world.
Then they write their own poems. They choose the topic. We brainstorm adjectives and descriptions of that topic. Then we use our 5 senses to describe. When they are done I type them up and make them into a class book. Here are the final products from this year's class.
