Fifth graders have been drinking poetry this week. We've talked about what it means for a poem to "speak to you." Each night poets are required to read poetry aloud for at least five minutes. Each day poets are invited to recite a poem that particular spoke to him/her. We are keeping track of qualities we notice in poems.
Here's what we've got so far on our list:
Poems we like-
flow, sometimes rhyme, create mental pictures, evoke strong feelings, are sometimes funny or clever, sound pleasant to our ears, might make us think about something in a new way, and might have a strong ending.
Poets are writing different types of poetry and will continue to write poems all through May.
