Favorite Poem Project
EN107: The Voice of Poetry is an experiential poetry class taught by Favorite Poem Project director and BUCH Public Humanities Manager Annette Frost.
As part of this class, students were guided to choose their own favorite poems and create videos in the style of the original FPP videos. The class voted on the top three videos.
This week and next, we’ll be posting the three winning videos by EN107 students that were professionally remade by BU’s Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning.
Here is Joseph Raymond’s video, in which he reads and discusses a section of “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” by Walt Whitman.
You can access these videos on our website under “The Favorite Poem Project Videos,” and/or the “Student Videos” filters in our Poetry Archive. Check out the link in our bio to look at all three videos.

It’s Resource Wednesday: Poetry in the Classroom!
This multi-day unit relies on students’ prior knowledge of poetry and gives them the opportunity to build community through poetry; teachers may choose to shorten or combine a given day’s lesson from Favorite Poems: Ours and Others’, as they see fit. Swipe to check out this resource!
Our Classroom Resources page has free lesson plans and educational resources for educators. While the website is categorized by age, materials can be modified for students of all ages and needs.
The full lesson plan for Poetry and Culture is available via the link in our bio. There, you’ll find homework ideas and potential next steps.
Tell us: have you implemented a multi-day poetry unit that focuses on community-building? What was that experience like? Share in the comments below, or send us a DM.
