This means that each student finds an articles from any credible source they wish, accumulate a list of words and phrases, and then create them into a found poem! ]]> 2022-07-06 18:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hqchung/fjxpbbdv94p0jj3q/wish/2238287516 Paint chip poetry - describe colors vividly! https://padlet.com/hqchung/fjxpbbdv94p0jj3q/wish/2238287573 2022-07-06 18:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hqchung/fjxpbbdv94p0jj3q/wish/2238287573 In-Class Debate https://padlet.com/hqchung/fjxpbbdv94p0jj3q/wish/2238287644 prepare written statements to share with group presenter for day of debate.

Many of my students who never thought they would share are encouraged when more and more of their peers get up to share, and I'm always amazed at their vulnerability and authenticity. My students have seen me cry several times in response to their poetry reading. ]]> 2022-07-06 18:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hqchung/fjxpbbdv94p0jj3q/wish/2238288157 New York Times Education Network prompts, contests inspire me and my students.
