Poetic Unity

To celebrate World Poetry Day, after reading our poem "Growing Pain," we all wrote acrostic poems about love. We shared the poems on a padlet for everyone to see.

  After reading Jessica Sills' "Promise" poem, we began writing a short story about friendship. Each paragraph was continued by another partner school, following what the previous partner school and students had written. This was a very interesting experience for us.
