In this unit, we will create our own collection of poems to form a poetry booklet. We will be writing acrostic poems, alphabet alliteration poems, cinquains, color poems, concrete poems, creature alliteration poems, fingerprint poems, haiku poems, I am poems, limerick poems, and who-what-when-where-why poems. Each day we will do a poem of the day where we complete a close read to identify the five elements of poetry in each poem while providing evidence.
Day 1
"No Difference" by Shel Silverstein
Acrostic Poem (as a class)
"Life as a Fish" by 5R
Fins are what I use to swim
Interesting shark friends are what I have
Swimming through the ocean is what I do
How fun it is to be a fish!
