This gallery of student poetry was generated by students at several Evanston schools 2008-2010. In one school, I was specifically commissioned to create a K-5th grade curriculum which reinforced the social-emotional curriculum being taught that year. The social worker and teachers believed students would better learn how to express and understand their emotion through the use of creative writing. Some of the work here came through that curriculum, other poems were generated by students quite naturally, because...of course...poetry is emotion!
