Before Spring Break the seventh graders were given a poetry assignment. Ask to see their "April Is National Poetry Month" assignment sheet. Students are to choose a 100 word poem written before World War II, print out 2 copies (one for the teacher), and memorize it by the end of the month. Poetry recitations in front of the class begin on Friday, April 27th. This is one of the most memorable activities we do in this class and former students of mine who are adults can still recite their poems! Enjoy!
