The Book of Questions @ Edwards Elementary

Today at Edwards, we started our poetry residency with asking “what is poetry?” Then, we read a poem by Pablo Neruda from his book, “The Book of Questions.” We then figured out different ways to ask questions and wrote our own poems that asked the silliest of questions!
