As a way to share our progress and learning throughout our poetry studies (in connection with our “How We Express Ourselves” unit of inquiry), fourth grade decided to host a poetry cafe. What started as a small idea, grew quickly! After taking a look at this example<\/a>, 4R became very enthused with the various roles they could play (from waiters and chefs, to DJs, videographers and greeters). We divided ourselves into a range of teams charges with room design, table design, food and drink planning and more. Students took full ownership of the event, creating signage, advertising and menus as well as baking all sorts of treats to share on the day. When the room was finally ready it was truly transformed, from a classroom, to a jazzy cafe.<\/p>\n

The following photo set<\/a> and videos feature the poets sharing their work. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
