In our first week of poetry class, we discussed the Hands on Stanzas poetry class residency (art class with words) and what I and they can expect during our time together – imaginative writing, playfulness and experimentation with words. We discussed the difference between the poetic line (a single row of words) and a story line. We read, discussed, and wrote a wish poem together as a class before taking time to write our own wish poems. Each week there will be 3 poems from each class published to our Hands on Stanzas blog, and every student will have an opportunity to see their written work published on our blog in the weeks to come. Enjoy this week’s published poems!
