Benefits of Poetry Wordle
I chose a wordle to share information about the benefits of poetry,
because the words have been randomly placed on the page and there is no proper
punctuation or capitalization. This illustrates how poetry gives little regard
to proper word placement and grammar etiquette. Just as with poetry, I was able
to share something and get my point across by using a few carefully selected
words with no regard to punctuation or complete sentences. Because poetry is more about expression and freedom
students have an easier time becoming successful poets.
