Today we took Writer's Workshop outside to celebrate fall through poetry. First we read and discussed Keats' "To Autumn" and compared it to a more contemporary work, Wilbur's "The Beautiful Changes". Then we all found quiet spots to capture bits of the glorious October day in our writer's notebooks. I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of the observations and seed ideas we planted in finished drafts in the weeks to come.
7th graders, if your paper copy of the poems didn't make it home, share these links with your parents and spread the wonderment!
