Poetry Recital from the Students of Willard Magnet School March 7, 2008

In order for the third graders at Willard International Baccalaureate and Technology Magnet School to learn the art of poetry writing, students apply basic concepts such as rhythm, meter, syllabication, purpose, point of view, and audience in their own poetry. They also practice writing couplets, triplets, quatrains, cinquains, haikus, free verse, sonnets, and limericks using figurative language and vivid verbs to enhance their poetry. During their studies, they read and analyze works by various poets from different parts of the world. This recital follows the end of this unit, giving the students a chance to share their forms of self-expression with one another.
