Activity:
-Optional: Show this video interview with Kwame Alexander (stop at 8 min)
-Students can choose between writing a "found poem" or a "Where I'm From" poem.
   -Where I'm from poetry inspiration video (2 min) from p. 28-29 of the book
   -Found poetry inspiration video (3 min)
I'll print off several different pages from the book for found poem collaging options. I'll also have these pages printed for those who want a "Where I'm from" poetry template to work from. While this is a bit "academic", I think both options are personal and crafty enough to still be fun.
