The Poetry of Us
In this project, children publish a book of poetry that includes both individual and collaborative poems and illustrations that focus on the many aspects of their identities. They share their book in a community Book Party or Poetry Slam.
Join Sara as she walks you through each step of "The Poetry of Us" project. The project includes detailed project plans with lesson ideas, suggested resources, and coaching videos for in-the-moment guidance as you learn and plan alongside Sara.
