FAVORITE POEMS
"This unit encourages
students to look at the world with a 'poet's eye' and value its worth,"
states Mrs. Kent. Above is a sample of some of the "favorite" poems
that students in each of the three second grade classes at Roanoke Avenue
School chose for their poetry books. Some of the students used their favorite
poet as a mentor poet and their poetry reflects some of the same conventions
of poetry. "The Poetry Jam was great!" states Hollique Smith-Johnson.
"It was better than T.V."
