What is Poetry?

Today we began with presentations by My Sister's Keeper (Block 1) and I Am the Messenger (Block 4).  A reminder that Friday's groups are Give a Boy a Gun and Shattering Glass.


The remainder of class was dedicated to the exploration of the definition of poetry.  Miss Innes shared a dictionary definition, as well as definitions from ee cummings and T.S. Eliot.  Students were then asked to answer a series of questions, related to their own ideas about what poetry is, and what it means.

Miss Innes asked that all students bring a personal definition of poetry to Friday's class.
