From Rhonda Slatten: At Alcott our eighth graders invite their parents for a Poetry with Parents Day. The students write poems with their parents. One of those poems is a two voice poem. Ours is about highschool. The parents write what they see as their eighth graders go to high school and the eighth graders write what they see. The parents and their student share their poems with the group. The parents read their first line and then the student reads their first line and so on. Tears are usually involved as these poems invoke powerful emotions. The parents and students also write to music and art and then share. It is always an awesome day!!!! Rhonda
