Help me give my students a magical classroom experience in which beautiful, birch bookcases display intriguing books, students record poetry podcasts to share with others, and students write creative poetry of their own.
My students are working hard to improve themselves in my English classroom. I want to help them experience the beauty of poetry in a way that will intrigue them and engage them. They have been impacted by COVID-19 in many ways, not the least of which is how we communicate with one another. Their speaking and writing skills have suffered somewhat and I hope to provide an exciting way for them to practice.
Students will record poetry podcasts and in this way, they will improve their written and spoken English skills.
Additionally, they will create poetry and drawings to display with pride. With the addition of bookcases, students will become interested in the many poetry (and other!) books on display.
By providing these activities and more, I hope students will gain social-emotional benefits and will increase their writing and speaking abilities. The poetry unit will also uplift students' spirits and provide a creative outlet.
More than half of students from low‑income households
