Sometimes words are not enough to convey what we are trying to say. The 7th graders of Clinton thought about what objects, animals, or ideas meant a lot to them before reading “Our Tree’s Last Christmas” by Ashley Wood. After discussing how concrete poems use words to create the shape of what is being written about, students combined their writing and drawing skills to amazing effect. From necklaces to soccer fields to apples to seahorses, students created several fun and inventive visual poems.
