Poetry

For writer’s workshop we have been studying different types of poetry and the different things that inspire poets, such as people, objects, places, and nature. During this unit we took a class trip to the Botanical Gardens. Students were able to see firsthand how and why poets get inspired by nature as they experienced it themselves. When we returned to school students wrote a poem about what inspired them the most on our trip (flowers, trees, insects, fish, ponds) in whatever form they liked: haiku, rhyming, free verse, etc.

The connection- at the end of our units of science and writing, students wrote poems about the life cycle of a butterfly.
