Two weeks ago, we had a "Poetry Club" to finish out our poetry unit. My students worked for 6 weeks to create poetry books of completely original works. In the book are over 10 different styles of poems (including haiku, acrostic, alliteration, and free verse) They had so much fun sharing their final books with their classmates! Each student picked 3-5 poems to share aloud with their classmates. We also had hot chocolate, muffins, and cinnamon rolls to snack on during the club. Below are some of the pictures of our wonderful poetry club!! (I'll upload more book photos later!) I am beyond pleased with how well this worked for a first time event! I definitely think this will become an annual event!
