I AM/WE WILL: A Poetry Activity for Earth Day and Global Youth Service Day

Invite students to explore their place in the natural world with the I AM/WE WILL: A Poetry Activity for Earth Day and Global Youth Service Day. Using inspiring poems from writers like Mary Oliver and Amanda Gorman as a spark, students write original two-part poems that move from personal identity to a collective pledge of action. The activity guide is designed for grades 4-12 and can be adapted as a visual arts experience for younger students.
