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 four 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.
"To me, poetry is pretty much my job!" states Demandry.
