ABOUT THE PROJECT:

"In general I think some students are reluctant to immerse themselves in poetry, they see it as this outdated kind of art form, and so I was trying to think of a project that would allow students to see poetry as something relevant and interesting. Anytime I can allow students to have a creative outlet, I'm always impressed by what they can bring...and some of the videos totally blew me away. I think my favorite thing about it was that it gave me a sort of glimpse into your point of view, how you see things, how you see the world, how you look at a poem...its so different from how I see it or experience it...I love that, when something a student creates really lets their personality shine through.
