Who are we? What do we want to express? How can we show that?
This poetry unit was centered around self expression and methods to help us convey our thoughts to the audience. Whether it was through discussion of author’s intent to reading our memories out loud. Through reading, writing, and listening to poems, we got to feel the all emotions of the poets. The joy of going to a basketball game, the grief of losing someone, every heartbreak. Poetry is powerful in that it helps people connect.
