The poetry blanket was a blanket created by the fifth grade class at DeSoto Elementary school where I student taught. Each student created a square for the blanket about a particular poem that they studied. Each square represented a different poem. The students were also required to write a three-paragraph paper about the poet and the poem. This project includes copies of the students' papers, photographs of the students working on the project and presenting their projects to the class, and the blanket itself.
