Bio Poem

I loved writing the bio poem the other day because I was in a fun group and we picked a light subject. I can see how the activity would be beneficial in classroom setting inasmuch as helping a student retain information about a specific person. I really did learn more about Oprah and I really did retain it. Moreover, I really did learn about Bessie Coleman, who I knew nothing about, and I really did retain it. I'm pretty sure had we not written the poem, it would have been less effective. Like, I'm pretty shocked I just remembered her name and exactly what she did and that was just a blurb of information that I encountered on Wednesday; normally, if I want random blurbs of information to stick in my head, I have to "study" them. So I can see how it could be an effective tool and it's definitely more interesting than memorizing facts for a test.
