Eighth graders connect to creativity through poetry
Last week, our eighth grade students finished up a recurring series of poetry workshops, led by students from Stockton University!
Their prompts for the week included writing a poem from the perspective of the ocean, as well as making a poem out of word clippings from magazines. Scholars had a chance to brainstorm with the help of the Stockton students, and then silently worked on writing their poems for some time. When it came time to read their work aloud, many scholars raised their hands to participate and show off their work.
We’re so proud of our eighth graders for working hard and connecting with their creative sides! Check out some photos from their final workshop below!
