What I Like Poems - The Chicago Poetry Center

What I Like Poems

This was the first poetry session for Ms. Licea’s third-grade classroom at Mark Twain Elementary School. Many of the students were excited to write about what they like and their feelings. After we got to know each other and talked about how poetry time means “art class with words”, students read “The Reason I Like Chocolate” by Nikki Giovanni out loud. After that, we identified what a line and a stanza mean in poetry. They loved the poem! Then, the room filled with raised hands as students shared what they liked in their lives. All students then wrote about what they liked, and many shared their pieces with the class at the end. It’s going to be a great time with poetry in this class!
