4th grade students are completing their Module 1 ELA Performance Task in which they synthesized their learning about what inspires poets to write poetry by presenting their own original poems inspired by something meaningful to them, along with a speech, including supporting visuals, about what inspired their poem and where you can see evidence of this in their poem. Amazing work, Rockets!
