Poetry

=​Poetry- Free Verse Summer 2010 Grades 6-8 ELL 2 =

English Language Learners (ELLs) (24 to be exact) have gathered this summer from various schools in the disctrict to participate in an ELL Enrichment Program at the Salemwood School. ​During Week 1 Free Verse Poetry was introduced to students through "mentor Text" examples. Students spent time reading various author's work in free verse.

Students also began to write some of their own free verse poetry in personalized journals. Group poetry writing time helped eased the students into the expected independent writing.
