Taking descriptive writing to the next level!

We have finished for the moment with our descriptive paragraphs, and will be exploring our creative side with poetry for the next few weeks.  We have read over some poems to remind us what they look like, and then we will be identifying some features that good poetry should have.  We will also look at various forms of poetry, like freeverse and concrete poems.  We are just staring out, but if you want a peek ahead at some of the things we will be talking about, you can check this out: https://husky67.pbworks.com/w/page/Poetry.  More will be added as we move through the unit.  As we learn new elements and forms, students could practice writing at home.  Any topic will do - I bet you could write a great poem about toast!
