Poem
When are we going to write our own poems?
Now!
• Today we will begin looking at your chance to write your own poems!
• I will start by answering your questions about the project.
Do we have to write our own poems?
• Yes!
How many poems do we have to write?
• As many as you want! • At least 5.
What types of poems do we have to write?
At least: One concrete/shape poemOne acrostic poemOne poem using a rhyme scheme
When are our poems due?
• May 30th is the official due date.
How do we write a poem?
• The activities in the newest pages of our WebQuest will give you step by step directions.
• Our next few live learning classes will be devoted to different types of poems and how to write them.
Other than poems, do we have to write anything else?
• Yes! There will be a written summary you will need to write when you are all done.
• You will write this by using questions provided on the last page of our WebQuest.
Do we have to turn the poems in?
• Yes!
How to we turn them in?
• It is up to you! • If you would like to make a book and mail it to
me I will give you an envelope (if you e-mail me and ask nicely!)
• If you want to make it powerpoint or a fancy word document you can do that too!
• Powerpoints and word documents will be turned in to a Dropbox.
Do we have to make a book or powerpoint?
• No, but you MUST get creative! • You may NOT just write some poems on paper
and turn them in! • You must decorate! Use pictures, drawings,
clip art, colors, etc…to make your poems as pretty to look at as they are to read!
How many points is this project worth?
• 100 points!
How do the points work?
• Your first 5 poems=50 points. • Each additional poem is worth 10 additional
points.• Presenting your project in a fun way like a
book, powerpoint, etc…is worth 20 points. • Your written summary is worth 20 points. • You get 10 points for following directions.
What does this mean?
• This means if you have a bad grade in this class you could do a good job on this project and write 10 more poems, which would earn you 200 points.
• 200 points would really help bring up a bad grade!
Will we get to share our poems?
• Yes! During the last week of school students will have the opportunity to share their poems in class but….
• You only have to share if you want to!• You MUST turn the poems in to Mrs. K first!
What if I can’t write poems? What if I am bad at it?
• Writing poetry is tough stuff! The important thing is that you try your best! That is what I will grade you on!
What do we have to write about?
• Write poems about stuff your care about, like, or think is interesting/cool/funny!
• Your poems do NOT have to be “Roses are red, violets are blue…” mushy, yucky love stuff unless that is what YOU want!
Mushy love stuff?
YUCK!!!!
Mrs. K is nothing if not fair!
• I don’t feel very comfortable writing poetry either!
• In fact I haven’t had to write a poem since I took a creative writing class in high school!
• While you write your poems I will also write my own and share them too!
