Poet's Corner

Students will be able to express themselves creatively when they write a variety of poems every few weeks. Poem formats will be changed approximately every four weeks and students will be able to immerse themselves into a variety of different poems. During the month poems can be emailed, after which they will be collated into an anthology of children's writing and then sent back as File attachments to participating schools, so that children will be able to read poems from around the world.
