Students in Mr. Ames’ English class didn’t just read poetry today—they experienced it! 📝 Mr. Ames shared that to truly learn rhythm in poetry, it helps to move—put your body in rhythm.
To start, students watched a short video of Michael Jordan and broke down the poem by Hanif Abdurraqib, “It Is Maybe Time to Admit that Michael Jordan Definitely Pushed Off.” From there, they headed outside for a walking practice activity, putting rhythm into motion. 🚶♂️🚶♀️
Hands-on experiences like these make learning both engaging and memorable—way to go, Bulldogs! 💜💛
