Today we held our first poetry circle for students to read aloud their first poems and receive feedback from their classmates. For now, feedback involves identifying the phrases, words, and images that are most effective. Helping other writers to know which parts of their writing are effective is very valuable. If no one is talking about some portions of a poem, the author should question whether those lines should be kept, cut, or revised.
No new homework. Feel free to continue to work on your first poem or draft additional poems. Those who did not get to share their poems today will have an opportunity on Wednesday.
