- Summary:
-
The teaching activities presented in the four journal columns extracted here focus on understanding and writing poetry. The first column (by Carol Case) presents an introduction to poetry unit containing five preliminary steps designed to help students develop an understanding of poetry. The second column (by Carol Anderson) describes a week of poetry writing and revision, which includes writing a "beautiful words" poem, a "group" poem, a "first line" poem, and a "creature" poem. The third column (by Sandra Fisher) presents three poetry writing assignments: (1) writing a rhymed acrostic poem in which the first letter of each line, reading vertically downward, spells the student's name; (2) writing a couplet advertising a favorite food, place, or product; and (3) writing "paper bag" poetry (a game using a random collection of words). The fourth column (by Collette Luscombe) presents two poetry writing formulas that any students, regardless of grade level, can use. (EL)
