U1: In-Class Writing Essential Question
How do poets and poetry invite us to see, feel, and experience the world?
Poets invite readers to share events or memories that can resonate or have a deeper meaning in our world. Whatever we define whatever the poet is talking about, the poetry invites readers to seek for more detail and go above and beyond the meanings of the poetry itself. They invite us to see whatever is around us, to be more cautious of the world and our experiences, as well as feel connections within ourselves and others involved. Poets often write poetry with several meanings for audiences to interpret whatever they find meaning for them. It’s important for us to experience the world with this interpretation because even though the world is changing constantly, poetry guides us to improve the world’s society and environment to appreciate what the world can give everyone today.
