This week students either started or continued working on their Simile poems.
They started with the phrase "round as" or "curved as" and thought of a noun that is either round or curved. If they were having trouble coming up with a word, we looked at different categories:
Things that we see outside a window
Animals
Food
Things found in a jungle
Things found in the ocean
etc...
Then they needed to ask and answer the questions when? where? and doing what?
A sample poem one student wrote was:
Round as the moon shining down on us from the sky at night.
Next week we will finish up these poems and they will pick their favorite to publish for our poety book.
