Today’s poems are inspired by fellow CPC poet-in-residence Fullamusu Bangura’s poem, “Chicago.” We talked about how poems are made up of “lines” and noticed that each line in “Chicago” was created using only two words. First graders shared what they love about Chicago and transformed their ideas into two-word lines for our collaborative poem.
