This month, Ms. Desberg's and Mrs. Bucco's English classes have been engaging in March Madness Poetry to start each class period. Students are introduced to two poems each day and vote for their favorite (based on general guidelines), moving through a bracket-style competition. Today, the classes took the experience a step further by pairing the daily poems with a 10-minute guided meditation from the Calm app, focusing on the theme of poetry and mindfulness. The meditation encouraged students to reflect on the emotional impact of the poems and how poetry can serve as a tool for self-awareness and relaxation. The March Madness Poetry challenge has been a fun way to connect to poetry. The addition of mindfulness reinforced how poetry can be both intellectually and emotionally enriching.
