Poetry Event
Hello everyone! Welcome to the event page for our Poetry Reading at Barnes & Noble.
Event Details:
Monday, December 8th, 5-8pm
@ Barnes & Noble in Bel Air
Come out to hear our upper school students sharing their amazing poetry. We will be doing live poetry readings and displaying our Blackout Poetry pieces (a type of poetry we've just learned this year which incorporates visual design) all around the store. Bring your friends and family and enjoy some wonderful poetry. Shopping for Christmas gifts? Good news - Barnes & Noble will donate a portion of profits during our event to TLS. Be sure to mention you're there for Trinity's event should you choose to purchase a book. We look forward to sharing our literature with you!
For students who wish to submit a piece:
***Submissions are open to all students from 5th to 8th Grade***
1. Place your poem (written or Blackout) in the "Poetry Submissions" bin in Ms. Johnson's room between now and December 3rd.
2. For written poems: After your poem has been previewed, I will make a copy and return it to you. Rehearse your reading and be ready to share December 8th. For Blackout poems: Submit your poem and we will work on matting the piece for display after approval.
3. Come to Barnes and Noble 12/8 any time between 5 and 8 pm ready to read (or to show off your Blackout poetry). Bring your written poem with you (I'll have a backup copy just in case). If you wish to share your written piece but do not want to read publicly, you may choose another student (or myself) to read it for you.
4. Hang out with friends & family, listen to the poetry of your classmates, and grab a hot chocolate next door from Starbucks! You can come any time between 5 and 8.
If you have any questions, please contact me at ajohnson@tlsonline.org.

6-1 Palindromes
Here are some of the palindromes we made in 6-1 to get ready for Holes. I'm sorry Blogger won't upload them right-side-up, but please enjoy nevertheless.
6-Word Stories
Today in Creative Writing, the 6-2 class learned about 6-word stories - very, very, VERY short stories (only and exactly 6 words long). Then, they created their own. Here are some I'd like to share:
Some things just can't be undone. - MH
Too late, sir. She is gone. - MW
The lullaby stopped, and I cried. - JV
Where she was, no one knows. - DM
High school... then college... then professional. - MS
Wherever you are, stay right there. - GR
The last one: not for sale. - OS
Sorry man, you can't have pencils. - JB
I saw him; then I didn't. - SM
It sounded loud and looked fast. - MV
Green and blue. I'm staying here. - RB
