Today we begin our quest for 7 of our favorite poems. We will head to the library for the first part of the adventure, then will continue the process throughout the week. Wednesday will be a blocked period and hopefully students will have all poems found and copied over by the end of the block on Wednesday.
Poets students may like:
Sandra Cisneros
Anne Sexton
Gary Soto
Langston Hughes
William Stafford
Seamus Heaney
Theodore Roethke
Robert Frost
Naomi Shihab Nye
Billy Collins
Rita Dove
Gwendolyn Brooks
Lucille Clifton
Nikki Giovani
Links to Poetry sites:
Note--Stay away from .com poetry sites as anyone can post a poem. The poems you select need to be ones the have been published in a forum other than just online.
Expand your horizons. Read poems that challenge your ideas about what you like and don't like in poetry.
