English Day 5

            English was great today.  The students assembled their poem booklets and we watched a clip from “Dead Poet’s Society.  The clip was about perspective and taking the time to look at things from different perspectives.  This led us into a discussion about respectful while the fellow classmates are presenting their poems.  I had the students’ names on strips of paper and randomly selected them to read a poem.  I read some of my poems too.  Each student had a chance to read 3 poems.  The students did really well.  They were respectful throughout the readings and we snapped for each poem.  I was impressed with the student’s poetry as well as their attentiveness to their classmates.  There was one student that did not feel very confident in her poems and her classmates impressed me by building her up every time it was her turn to read and after she read a poem.
