Notes on Poetry Week from Mr. Hertzberg
- Poems for the Poetry Café Walls. Please encourage your students to produce (perhaps inspired by today's sessions) an original poem (perhaps with some sort of visual enhancement) that they could display on the Poetry Café walls. While the Café will not begin until Tuesday at lunch, it will be set up on Monday. You could have your students display their poems on the walls during Humanities time on Monday if that works for you. (If you have your sessions with Mali that day, please get me your poems earlier and I'll make sure your students' poems get displayed on Monday.)
- Please encourage your students to consider presenting (reading one is fine) a poem during one of the Poetry Café lunch sessions.
- Please consider taking your students to the library to peruse the poetry books that Nadine has set aside. Ask them to bookmark their favorite poems and perhaps leave a note for other MS students as to why they like it.
- Multimedia for poems. If you've asked your students to create multimedias for poems and you'd like them to be projected throughout the week, please deliver them to me on a USB by 3:30 on Friday.
