“Women Who Love Angels”
The poem , by Judith Ortiz Cofer, provides much food for thought. Descriptive, elegant in its metaphors, the poem invites thought. Students were asked to read the poem silently, select one line, and write for five minutes. In groups, they read the poem aloud, and discussed their choices. We read it aloud, shared our thoughts, and discussed what we thought. Finally, using the outline of the poem, students wrote a poem of their own. Monday/Wednesday week of April 8.
