teacher
● No private information is required by students

14. Results of Project
The Poetry Place Project is still continuing, but
already we have seen positive results. The
students are very motivated and engaged, and
they are excited about sharing their poems with an
audience. Some children who normally would not
be excited about poetry are interested in talking
about their favorite poets and collections of
poems. As different genres of poetry are
introduced, the students have enjoyed knowing
that what they write will be shared with their new
friends.
