We had some fun writing Valentine’s Day poems in class. I prompted the students with “Roses are red/Violets are blue/I want to say/I love you” and then took away the Lines 3 and 4. After teaching them what a ‘rhyme’ is, the students took a shot at some love poems and came up with some nice little verses. Here is my student Timothy reading his poem to his classmates.
