Welcome to our community of readers, writers and thinkers. We will meet in this space to gather and share our thoughts.
1. Please begin by introducing yourself to the group, share at least one thing about yourself and tell us the title of a favorite book. Sign with your first name or your initials.
2. Reflect on the poem Super.Hero that we wrote together during the first week of school. What do you think about the poem? What was it like to write and perform a group poem?Post your reflection under the poem. Make sure you sign with your first name or your initials in order to get credit.
SCRIBBLED BLUE DREAMS
We expect our dreams to sing and turn chaos into knowledge
Here between the
lines every voice matters. And the walls are not empty anymore. They sing a song scribbled blue
like a river

SPOKEN WORD/MURAL RESIDENCY
Students in the literacy arts and ELL reading classes worked with two artists during this residency to explore their own universal themes. Spoken word artist IBé collaborated with students to write individual and choral poems. Visual artist sankaradjeki worked with students to design a mural poem using their own words created from colored tape. Working directly with the artists allowed students the opportunity to communicate in new and unique ways.
I learned how to be creative doing just simple things. O.Z.
family is family
everyday people
day in and day out
like seasons
family love is
like a river that
never dries
different
unique
people to people
you don't have to explain
your smile
talk together
life can love back
DO IT YOURSELF
Do it yourself
Expose your poems
to a dream song
to other people's dream song
Give it birth into the music
Arise from echoes and the
ashes of injustice
Sing with your poem a
new love song...
