We have started our poetry unit!
1. Our introduction to poetry included the poem Introduction to Poetry by Billy Collins. We talked about enjoying poetry and not taking it all too seriously. Some of us love poetry, and some of us just need to work through the process of reading and writing poetry. Both are okay, just like some people love non fiction texts, and others do not.
2. Diamante Poems - this is a flash website, so many not work with Apple products.
3. Acrostic Poems - we have upped the content by creating a list of 15 nouns and 15 verbs to make acrostic poems with rich, detailed sentences that match the topic. Gone are the days of just adjective based acrostic poems. Students know that we need more meaningful sentences.
