Sharing a Poetry Notebook

Here are a few ideas for ways that students can share their poetry notebooks:

1. Pass notebooks to the person to the left of them to read silently for 5 minutes. Then the books can be passed again for as many times as the teacher would like.


2. Visit a school or class of younger students and read poetry notebooks to the kids there.


3. Read their favorite poems out loud to the class. This could be done as a coffee house or poetry slam.


4. Place poetry notebooks in the classroom and/or school library.
