8th Graders read and analyzed several poems including Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise" & "Life Doesn't Frighten Me". Students created inspired poetry mimicking Angelou's style. Some characteristics we observed were first person perspective, repetition and end rhyme. Students had the choice of writing free verse poem or a list poem.

I'm very Proud of how my students rose to this challenge!
