Poetry On a T-shirt

Students in Mrs. Maughan’s ninth grade English class have been taking lines from poetry and interpreting it through art on a paper t- shirt. Each students’ artwork has been hung up on the wall in the seventh grade hall.

“The main purpose behind this assignment was to help students get into poetry more,” said Mrs. Maughan. “They had to really internalize each poem to discover its meaning and theme.  They also had to find a poem that they connected to in some way.”       

Cami Ward, a student in Mrs. Maughan’s first period class, said, “It was a really fun project.  We got to read a lot of poems.”  If you want to see these wonderful t-shirts, you are welcome to walk past and take a look!
