Winter Gen Z Poetry Club

During this ongoing course, we will focus on the works of Youth Poet Laureates.  Learners will be inspired by these Generation Z poets to write their own poems.  Each class section will focus on a different poetry form, highlight a different teenage poet, and learners will write their own poem.  Class time will include Kahoot games, YouTube video clips and interactive elements such as Google Jamboard and Zoom participation tools to encourage learners to share their poems with each other.  Learners do not need any prior experience or knowledge of poetry.  As a certificated High School English Teacher in California, my students always enjoyed my poetry units, and found they were poets and they didn't even know it!
