This week and last week everyone got a poet and we each had to make a presentation on them and has to dress up to look like them and do a gallery walk. So today we did the gallery walk on our poets. Some of my favorites and facts about them were: Willam Butler Yeats. He was born on June 13, 1865 in Irland and died on January 28, 1939. He loved writing plays. Another poet that I liked was Robert Frost. He was born in San Francisco, California; and was American poet. There was Billy Collins, who was also an American poet who was born on March 22,1944. There was Sandra Cineros, who was born on December 20, 1954 She was the only female and had six brothers. There was Carol Ann Duffy who was a scotch poet and was born on 1955. There was Silvia Plath who was born on October 27, 1932, and died wen she was 30. Her dad died when she was 8 so that had a big impact on her life. There was Pablo Neruda who was born on July 12, 1984 in Chile and died on December 23, 1973 in Santiago, Chile. And lastly there was Willam Shakespeare who had n unknown birthday but scholars believe that it was on April 23,1564. He wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets.
