In this project, students explore poetry as a way of explaining and defining the world around them via the people, places, and events that make up their life.
Revising and editing is an important point of the writing process and an essential part of all 826 publishing projects. Students should be given time in class to revise and edit their poems. An additional session (or several!) could be used to allow students to revise their poems.
At the end of this session we have also included tips for organizing an optional translation event, if desired.
