Poetry and Popcorn? What do you think?

Tonight, I invite you to meet Popcorn, a sixth-grade poet from the Bronx. Listen to her story. Absorb her handpicked words, every one carefully crafted to express her thoughts and ideas.

After you’ve watched this video, share out what you think about Popcorn and poetry by posting a sticky note on the wall below.

Do beautiful words have to be beautiful? Speak up, let the words that are crammed inside you see the light of day.

Grab a sticky note and post your thoughts!

This is Tuesday night’s homework, but you’re welcome to complete early if that suits your schedule.

In addition, be sure that you’ve signed up for Quizlet. Please use your first name (not a nickname) so I can track your progress. Thanks to David M. for providing directions:
