Poetry from Fourth Graders at University Preparatory Academy-Ellen Thompson Campus, Detroit, Michigan.
From the Introduction
The fourth graders of University Preparatory Academy-Ellen Thompson were learning about animal defense mechanisms—like possums playing dead and porcupines throwing their quills—before 826michigan came along with the intention of completing a writing and publishing project. Their teacher Khristina Ash and I thought deeply about what this writing experience could be, so when Ms. Ash suggested human defense mechanisms, my heart started to palpitate. It was a natural connection to the work already happening in the classroom.
