I still remember doing our fourth grade poetry unit at Centennial. It was like my favorite part of the whole year. We didn't have to follow too many specific patterns or get too specific, I just liked writing a lot. We made a book with all of our poems in it, and we got to decorate it and everything. I also remember reading "The light in the Attic" in elementary school, and I loved those poems.
I haven't had much experience with poetry since. When I hear the word now, I think of Poetry out Loud, which wasn't my favorite experience, but wasn't terrible either. It was just a little stressful cause I waited too long to start memorizing my poem, and I felt like it kind of took the joy out of it and caused a little too much pressure. However, I have liked what we have done in class with poetry lately!
