Poetry Time - Day 3

Today we will read and write a bit of a different kind of poem.  Take a few minutes to read these poems from the Swampy Cree Indians.

Poetry Time - Day 2 - Magnetic Poetry

Today each of you will create your own poem using the same word list: Bunch o words

There are a few ways you can do this:

1. Use this fun tool: Magnetic Poetry maker
1. click on "start a new poem"
2. add the words you want
3. move 'em around and then save your final version
2. Print out the words, cut them out, arrange the words into a poem, and them type up the final poem.
3. Use the word list on your screen and type your poem into a new Google document

We will all make poems using the same set of words, so it will be fun to see how we each use them.  Your poem can take any form - it can rhyme, it can be in short phrases, it can feel like a run-on sentence, it can be in multiple voices, whatever! 

When you are done, post the final version onto your blog.

Here's mine: Mr Rigler's magnetic poetry poem

Happy writing!

Poetry time!

We'll start off by making some Diamante poems.  What are they?  Go to this site: Diamante Poems for an explanation and a tool to use.  You should make three different poems, save them as .pdf files, and post them onto your blog.  Explore your range as a poet - try new things - don't just write all about the same topic or all funny poems - push yourself to see what else you can do!

• when you finish each poem, either save it or email it to yourself
• upload your poems into your Google drive
• link them into a new blog post

Here is one I created today: Hoops-A-Palooza

Challenge:

• go from Restaurant to Surprised
• go from Museum to Brave
• go from Vacation to Calm
• go from Geese to Faith

Here are mine:

•  restaurant - surprise
•  museum - brave
