Celebrating National Poetry Month with Book Spine Poetry

With book spine poetry all the rage--and a huge success with my elementary students--I thought it was time to get my middle schoolers involved. Mrs. Perkins's 7th grade LA kids came in as a small group to learn all about it; next week the whole class will be in to "write" their own poems with guidance from today's small groups.

Check out the students' poems--and see their work in progress--with the pictures below:
