I hear my voice ringing out loud…

This week for poetry club at Clissold we focused on writing poems about ourselves. We read Leslie Reese’s poem I Am and talked about stanzas and lines and how to use them in our poems. We also talked about how important it is to speak kindly to ourselves and others, and how the words that we say to ourselves can become what we believe about ourselves. So I encouraged our students to embrace themselves and pick a couple of things to celebrate about themselves while writing their poems. Enjoy this week’s poet!
