A Poem of Possibilities: Thinking about the Future
A Poem of Possibilities: Thinking about the Future
Description:
Though teenagers are known for living in the "now," they can easily be persuaded to ponder the future—especially when it’s their own future that they’re asked to imagine. Inspired by John Updike’s poem "Ex-Basketball Player," students write poems or prose poems intended for a real audience—themselves, five years in the future.
