Favorite Poem Project

Poetry often serves as a powerful artistic vessel for grief. Reading and writing poetry help memorialize those who have passed, as well as help someone process grief.

Swipe to check out parts of our Poetry and Loss lesson plan. This is geared towards high school students, but can be modified for students of all grade levels and needs.
