I came into winter term knowing almost nothing about Poetry. All i knew was that Mrs. Lewis was an awesome teacher and really helped me in the library on papers. The first day I walked in the class I knew that this class was going to be awesome. I didn't know what Poetry was at all, I even wrote a poem that i explained that I didn't even know how to write a real poem yet. On workshop days I always remember asking "how long does it have to be." Mrs. Lewis just said it didn't matter, which was awesome because i didn't know exactly what to write and i could focus more on content. In the end, Mrs. Lewis is a completely awesome teacher, along with my classmates. We worked together a lot and Mrs. Lewis got graphs and charts out to show how to work together. After I took the class, I can now recall information about many poets (I even recognized one in a movie), and realized that poetry is more than just words, but a culture.
