I am so thankful...15 Words or More Poetry

Thanksgiving is an amazing time to think of what we are thankful for. We get at least one day to think back and reflect on our thankful treasures in our lives. It could be music, people in our lives, or even that Nintendo DS Lite you wanted so bad. Think, Class, about what do you truly are thankful for. Look around. Sometimes the most treasured things are right there in front you. I definitely treasure you!

This time, write a poem 15 words or MORE. I know some of you have the desire to use more words. Go forth and write my poets!

Nearest Book: Found Poem

Here is a great way to make Found Poems. Found Poems take authentic pieces of literature, find great words, and arrange them together to make a poem. A Found Poem. This is our twist!
On Facebook, I was send a Nearest Book Challenge from my friend, Sean Murphy.
1. Find the nearest book
2. Turn to Page 56
3. Write down the 5th sentence in the book.

Our class then went through the list and created Found Poems. You can find their poetry under the comments on this page!
