For this week (which happens to be our last week of poetry until we spear off into a much deserved and needed winter break!) we continued to practice our new vocabulary word: ekphrasis. While the previous ekphrastic session had students using a 2D medium and drawing sketches, this session we decided to go 3D. Using Play-Doh the students made their own sculptures and went around the room writing in response to their sculptures!

peach skin as my own
