express themselves and write about whatever they please. Reflecting on this
experience made me realize that students really do enjoy writing and if they
are writing this much at home, why is writing not made a priority in schools?
One of my favorite memories from this experience was when the kids were
able to pick out one poem from their poetry book to share and play, guess
my poem. The student would read their favorite poem and their peers would
guess the type of poem. I recognized how excited the students were to share
their published work and have a chance to hear their classmates poems. A
huge takeaway for me in this experience was seeing in context how setting a
purpose for writing allows for better, productive work and at the end of the
day the students felt accomplished and more confident in their writing
abilities after this experience.
