Poem in your Pocket?



This video underlines the fact that there are so many wonderful things to experience, exciting places to explore, and compelling things to learn. Learning should be fun and it should be shared.

April is National Poetry Month in a variety of countries. What if your school held a "Poem in Your Pocket" Day sometime this month? It is certainly an opportunity to help instill a love of poetry but it could also be an authentic engaging learning experience in writing, social skills, speaking, listening, building community and more. What if your students shared just a few descriptive words (maybe in the classic haiku form) about what they're learning and why it's exciting? Find info here.
