Poetry is Hitting 339

It's Poetry Month at 339! Starting Monday, the kids of the school started to write poems for a whole month. According to an unnamed teacher, the kids of her class have changed tremendously in their work. They are writing deep, high-level poems. She said her kids used to write poems about video games but now they are writing with emotions. She says that they are writing professional poems. Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will be studying hip-hop songs, sonnets, odes, haikus, and more! They will publish their poems in journals, podcasts, videos, and Google Sites. We will be featuring Poets of the Week on the Hardline every week in February. Teachers will submit their students' best poems. Look out for rising poets of 339!
