Images and Poetry

Students have worked throughout the week with a variety of writing techniques from Georgia Heard's book Awakening the Heart.  Using images, students used some pre-writing structures from Heard's book. Students have collected many photographs from this collection from National Geographic's best photos from 2016 

   

Here are some of their pieces.

Langston Hughes

We have been working with poetry during our reading and writing time. Students have been reading a variety of poems from diverse authors.  After reading some poetry from Langston Hughes, a Missouri native, students responded to two of his poems.

Oops! I omitted the "g" from his first name. It has since been corrected!

Book Spine Poetry

Students did some book spine poetry today! See some of the creations!
