Assignment April 3rd - National Poetry Month

Good Morning!

I miss being there with you!

I am so proud of each of you!  You have had a busy week, and I am thankful that each of you are in my class!  You are awesome!!

1.  Click here to enter your 10 words or phrases that describe the STAAR test.  Put a comma between each word or phrase.
                                (You did these on Wednesday in your journal!)

2.  April is National Poetry Month!!  Did you know that?  So in order to celebrate, we are going to write poetry this month.  Today,  you will go visit this teacher's website, again.  You need to pick 3 different styles of poems.  Write them first on a piece of paper, and then blog each one!

Cinquain

These poems are called cinquains.  Are they free verse or rhyming?  Click here to see the pattern of how to write a cinquain.  Try one of your own.  You can use thesaurus.com to help you come up with a synonym.

3. After you have posted your poems, click on our class website and open four different classmates' blogs and comment on their poetry posts.  Remember to be respectful with your words!

4.  Now, you may free blog and blog about your reading!

I hope you have a super, awesome day!  Tell our reading buddies and Mrs. McPherson thank you for the poster (outside our door in the hall).  Be kind to each other and VERY respectful to Miss Edwards!  I will see you on Monday!
