We only have so much time, so trying to push yourself into being creative is barrier making
It's an assignment, so it's already a resistance
Some students really aren't interested in poetry but they enrolled in the class anyway
Students are used to Turning something in and getting a grade for it. They aren't used to really writing something they would want to read or want to ride. Or that they would even have written by a deadline.
I'm asking them to share emotions with using words that they wouldn't normally share. That the art has to be there.
Art and sharing feelings are never encouraged in classroom settings. They are not often graded on. Again, the grades!
Students are more focused on what they need to do for homework then they are on the experience of being in a classroom where they can be themselves.
