Poetry Happenings

We will celebrate poetry in a variety of ways this month, including daily poetry readings. The basic idea is to share a favorite poem but the way in which you decide to share your poem is up to you. Possibilities for the format of your share include: dramatic reading, recitation, stop motion film, graphic novel, audio recording with accompanying painting or art project, reading with a follow-up reflection or activity devised by you, reading plus a special snack related to your poem, reading plus a field trip to a place related to your poem, and so forth. The sky is the limit. If you can imagine it, you can do it. If you decide to create a follow-up activity to go along with your poem, please give us a heads-up so we can plan accordingly. If you have questions or big ideas about this fun and exciting project, please feel free to email us. Here is the schedule for the poetry share:
