GRADE 6:
WATER EXPEDITION POETRY BOOK
Evidence of Complexity, Craftsmanship, & Authenticity
As part of the Water Is Life expedition, students researched an Ancient River. Working with a local poet, students used scientific vocabulary and their research to create a Pantoum poem communicating the health of the river and the overall water crisis facing our world. All poems were compiled into a poetry book "Spoken Words From The Ancient Rivers." The books were sold to the public and proceeds went to “Wisconsin Water For The World” a local organization that organizes water relief projects to water-stressed regions on the world. Students read their poems to the community at there culminating event.
