See yourself all over again: Concrete poems

Greetings! Waters 7th graders have already had plenty of experience connecting the dots between poetry and visual art. continue that trend with concrete poems, which are poems that are shaped like a object or symbol that’s reflected in their poetry content 🙂 We read Marilyn Nelson’s “Fingers Remember” before students wrote their own concrete poems. Take a look below and enjoy.
