“From Prose to Poetry”
In this activity, students will create their own found poetry based on prose fiction text.
Thanhha Lai chose to tell the story of Hà and her family in verse instead of prose. Consider how that choice may have impacted the overall effect of the novel. Using part of a story written in prose, your task is to create a piece of poetry that captures the same elements that the prose does.
