Sometimes words are not enough to convey what we are trying to say. The 8th 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 keychains to airplanes to flowers to video game controllers, students created several fun and inventive visual poems.
