As April draws to a close, I spent some time this afternoon crunching some numbers on the Poetry Challenge.
Here's a bit of the data:
130 students wrote 1223 poems!
41 wrote 20+ times and won a spin of the prize wheel;
21 others wrote the required 10 poems or more;
67 wrote at least one poem,
and 11 did not participate.
Overall? I'd say the month was a qualified success, and there was some amazing writing as always. The results are pretty similar to last year's group, which is pretty remarkable considering that then I had 80 writers to oversee and now it's sooooooooo many more.
One big difference is that last year, there was only a single student who never shared a single poem, and this year there were eleven.
The voices who choose not to be heard are always the ones I miss most.
