Two Voice Poems

Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices, by Paul Fleischman, won the Newbery Medal in 1989. We have spent the last two days performing poems from this clever book and writing our own two voice poems. In addition to writing these poems to capture the different points of view between European Explorers and the native people they encountered during their expeditions and the voices of characters in The Inquisitor's Tale, the girls also wrote two voice poems featuring bickering siblings, condiments, Hamilton characters, and annoyed pets, to name a few. It has been such a fun project, and we've loved watching the girls' creativity and excitement throughout the project.
