If you are a writer, we hope you will take this opportunity to jump start your writing, to try new things and to celebrate the written word. We also hope you will share some of YOUR favorite writing assignments with us. The more the merrier. Please see what we did last year to get a sense of length and structure.
We strongly believe that there are many ways to engage students in reading and writing. So, if you are a teacher, we would like to open the door for you to share poetry with your students. These assignments are free for you to use in your classrooms to promote poetry and literacy. And don’t be shy about letting us know how it turns out, both good and challenging experiences. Feel free to take a look at our other assignments from our archive as well.
Looking forward to a wonderful month of reading, writing and breathing poetry.
