Poetry+Cafe

Poetry Unit Poets have many tools that they can use. These tools can add to the poem's sound, meaning, and emotional effect on the reader. During the month of October we discussed and practiced using a variety of tools poets use. Each student created a book of poems and shared these poems on Halloween. Alabama Course of Study Objective Candles and special lighting set the stage for the students to share. To begin the cafe' we shared the poetry theme movie. Everyone shared their favorite poem on stage. Mrs. Jones thanked everyone for participating and invited everyone to enjoy some tasty treats. The students enjoyed the Poetry Cafe' and were ready to eat!! Mrs. Jones and some special volunteers helped serve the tasty treats. Even after the reading was over the students still enjoyed sharing their poems with each other. This was an excellent day and the students really enjoyed sharing the work they had done.
