Last week, after reading poems by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Rupi Kaur, English III students competed in the annual "You vs. Pro Contest of Champions." Teams were given a poem that we did not read in class and told to emulate it so closely that they would fool their classmates. At the end of class, I put their poems side by side with the originals, and their classmates voted on which one was written by high school students. The attached images are the three winners -- the groups who fooled the largest percentage of their classes. If you want to play along, comment A or B for each to give your guesses as to which poems were written by high school students!
