Line by Line (Waters 7th Grade)

How exciting to be back at Waters for another year of poetry! Last year’s sixth graders are now seventh graders, and I look forward to building on our poetry knowledge from last year. As we did last year, we started with community agreements and discussed all the things we know to be true about poetry. Then we talked about one of poetry’s building blocks: the line. We looked at a few different examples of line break usage. Then, I handed each student an index card and had them write a single line about anything, such as something they love. Then I randomly put their lines together for a group poem from each class. Enjoy the poem below!
