Last night Kristin Leclaire asked her American Literature class to write their own version of Walt Whitman's poem, "I Hear America Singing." Their poem is called "I Hear Arapahoe Singing," and each student in the class contributed his or her own verse using the class blog. In an email, Kristin shared that "in class today, we analyzed our poem, and many students realized that all of their verses emphasized the insecurity of the individual but the strong, driving force of our pride as a united school."
Please consider heading over to their class blog and leaving them some constructive feedback.
Thank you to Karl for posting this and for everyone who commented on our class blog; students in my sixth hour felt honored to have people from all over the country (and one from England!) praising them for their creativity and their grasp of Whitman.
