Karin Greenberg writes: “For centuries, poets have attempted to put words to profound experiences. Using the monumental event of the Artemis II mission, I decided to challenge my high school students to give it a try. For this year’s April poetry competition, I asked them to write a poem focusing on the theme of time and space. A familiar refrain that high school educators hear from students is ‘How will this have anything to do with life?’ When we pair real events, especially intriguing ones, with literature and writing skills, we’re more likely to engage learners.
