This morning, we put together our poetry journals that we will use all year! These journals are where we will paste in and work with poetry daily, a new poem each week! We will read and reread the poems each morning then complete the assignment described in our morning message found on the Smartboard. The assignments will include: highlight specific author's craft (similes, metaphors, rhyme, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, etc.), picture the poem, circle special words, underline specific parts of the poem, or illustrate your favorite stanza! I'll share these journals at conferences in December, then look for this journal to come home in June! Ask your child about our weekly poem, September, by John Updike!
