Poetry 2005 by 6th Grade Students of Fairfield Middle School

In our poetry unit this year, our sixth graders read and
memorized famous poems, were exposed to many
different types of poetry, and tried their hand at
writing their own poetry. Some of those poems
include tanka, cinquain, haiku, acrostic, bio,
concrete, diamante, ocean research, couplets, title
down, and limericks. My students had fun creating
poems that expressed who they really are. They also
quickly discovered that writing poetry is very revealing,
which can be scary. I am proud of their willingness
to share this part of themselves with others. The
openness and ease with which they write, along with
their wit and honesty, simply amazes me. I hope you
enjoy reading their work as much as I have. They
should be very proud of their accomplishments.
