The sixth grade students at Big Rapids Middle School had the opportunity to write poetry with Michigan poet Terry Wooten, who for 30 years has been conducting poetry workshops and giving poetry performances. Mr. Wooten was invited to the school by sixth grade language arts teacher, Janet Weber. Mrs. Weber's sixth graders listened to Mr. Wooten recite his own poetry and then worked to create some of their own, with lots of tips along the way. The workshop with Mr. Wooten ended with a Poetry Night. Several students recited their own poetry. You can see videos of the recitations on the BRMS Facebook page.
