When, Where, and Who Are Poems?

This session will introduce the idea that poems can be reflections of ourselves, even if we choose a different subject for that representation, like painter Frida Kahlo did with her self-portraits.
What Your Students Will Learn

Your students will practice using sensory adjectives and learn about the work of Frida Kahlo.

What Your Students Will Produce

Your students will produce a poem that describes a subject using adjectives that are usually reserved for food.

What You Will Need

Before You Start
  • Write the warm-up question on the board: “What is one time you remember feeling calm?”
  • Write “self-portrait”  on the first notecard and “analogy” on the second.
