Poems

A few weeks ago we did a poetry lesson for the third year junior high school students. The idea was to come up with a nice short English language poem. The only direction was to start with one word, then two words, three, four and finally one last word to summarize. The two classes were both right before lunch, so I had a lot of fun just brainstorming up mostly food related example poems. Later on when I went through the student's efforts I saw some excellent work, and I decided they deserved a blog post.
