A few times a year at Alex’s school, they do what are called focus studies, where teachers and other parent volunteers run a week of interesting lessons and activities around various topics. This time Alex chose a Harry Potter poetry writing focus study. In it they watch a few carefully selected minutes of one of the Harry Potter movies and then write a poem inspired by about what they saw. At the end of the week they held a poetry reading where each student got to read one of their poems out loud and parents could come and listen. Sue went and took a video of Alex reading his poem, now posted on the movies tab.

The audio is not the best -- I will try to get the actual poem to post here soon.
