Sound Poems / Poemas Sonoros @ Moos

How do you make noise on paper?/ ¿Cómo haces ruido en el papel? In our second week of poetry class, we explored using poetry to make noise on paper. We read a round of sound poems together before taking some time to brainstorm and write our own sound poems about the sounds we hear at school, at home, and around our city. Each week there will be 3 poems from each class published to our Hands on Stanzas blog, and every student will have an opportunity to see their written work published on our blog in the weeks to come. Scroll down to enjoy this week’s published poems!
