We continue to work on our narrative writing and developing fiction stories.
Mr.Gardner introduced the kids to Poetry this morning using a powerful Macklemore video, which tied into our class discussions on homelessness and introduced the ideas of materialism/overconsumption. When asked what they thought poetry was, some of the responses were:
*poetry is like painting
*inspiration
*thoughts and opinions
*the story of life
*like a song
*a rap
*3-5 minute comment, or thought
*inspiring message
*vents your feelings
*can be healing
*reflection
*poetry can take up any form
*poetry is an art and some people need to go through a strong emotion to express it
*remind people about things, express yourself
*you could paint music or a poem
*art is poetry
