7th GRADE ASSIGNMENT- Poetry Mini Unit

Bell Work

In your notebooks, answer the question: WHAT IS POETRY?

Introduction
This assignment is for 7th grade students only!

We are going to begin our poetry mini unit today. As we begin to write poems remember that when writing poetry it is important to use your IMAGINATION. 

The best poems make people THINK and FEEL. They help us to look at the world DIFFERENTLY. (Arts Standards 1 & 2)

Today's Assignment
1. We are going to work on shape/theme poems today and use an interactive computer tool.

3. Follow the steps given. Try the process as many times as you would like. Print your best poem and save it in your folder. This is very important because we are going to create a poetry book with our best poems. 

 *Did you know? A shape poem is called a CONCRETE poem!

EXTENSION: Did you know you can create your own shape poem by hand? If you would like more of a challenge, try this! See me with questions.
