Based on a model used at a neighboring school, I am going to use the library exclusively for poetry reading/performance next Friday, April 8. Anyone coming into the library that day must read a poem (even if it's just a haiku). Poetry will be read through the entire period, for all seven periods that day, leading up to a music jam during eighth. No other work will take place in the library that day. Fortumately, the ELA teachers are excited about this and plan to bring in classes for at least four of these periods, which will fill up the time easily. I'll have stacks of material ready to fill up empty time, but I'm hoping to remain mostly in the background (except for reading one poem each period). I have advertised it so that students know they may use costumes, props, perform in teams, etc. Anything goes. This will be the first time for this at our school. I'm looking for other people's experiences with this type of day, and what worked and didn't work for you.
