The 6th graders are midway through a neat introductory poetry unit. We've been learning about basic poetic devices, such as couplets, stanzas, rhyming patterns, meter, and alliteration, along with simply exploring the differences between poetry and prose. When we finish this unit next week, we will explore the concept of onomatopoeia and write some "sounds" poetry. Look for students' poetry in the hallway in a few weeks.
