March is one of the best months to be a sports fan and to be a student in the AP Literature classroom. Each year, we hold an NCAA-bracket-style March Madness POETRY tournament.
We spend the month reading 32 poems, all of which compete in a single-elimination, bracket-style challenge to determine a class champion.
The month has two broad goals:
-
To provide the means for students to appreciate poetry, especially those who say they don’t like it
-
To give students a framework to understand poetry
This year’s big winner…..
Coming in for a close second,
Enjoy these two big winners and read poetry with delight this April, which is National Poetry Month!!!!
Cheers from the AP Lit Classroom.
