I find thinking about teaching writing poetry to students daunting task to do. This is partially because I find poetry writing myself, daunting. The activity we did today however was a brilliant way to push myself out of that comfort zone and just put some words on the page! The speed and low stakes really helped with this. I also think I could go back and work some of the stuff I wrote and end up with something I was really proud of/is very silly and fun. This kind of “play” with words is something I really want to find ways to foster in my classroom and is something I definitely would do in my classroom.
