Book Spine Poetry

Our freshmen classes have spent the last few weeks studying and analyzing the themes and tones of different poems. As an enrichment to their studies, each class came into the library this week to create an original poem using only the titles of books (located on the book spines). Students created their own individual poems using at least 6 books. They were encouraged to think about the tone of their poem while choosing their books.

The students were so excited about this activity! Here are some of their incredible creations:

After students created an individual poem, they created a group poem for a grade level contest the teachers are hosting. The competition is stiff! Check out this entry for the contest! So creative!
