Young Poets Poetry Contest!
Over the next two weeks, students will have the opportunity to take part in the Young Poets Poetry Contest! If selected, your student’s poem will be published in the 2018 Young American Poetry Digest! Although all poetry forms are encouraged, they are highlighting “haiku” poems.

The judges will be looking for:
- Creativity
- Sensory/Figurative Language
- Structure
- · Poetic techniques
We included optional educational resources below. We will cover some of these in class but may not get to all of them due to time restrictions. You can support your student by talking to them about what they plan to write, helping them access the games below, or discussing some of the educational links.
Students will have time to write their poems in class on Thursday, March 8. Students can also bring in other poems that they wrote at home, however, the contest limits each student to 80 words.
