As we are learning about different styles of poems, our learning is very carefully developed in class. Students have access to their own paper copy of the poetry packet. It is also on Edmodo, and whatever style we are highlighting that day is on the smart board in front of class.

When each poem is introduced, we read the introduction about the poem. We look at the format. Then we read examples. Together, in class, we write that style of poem on the board, side-by-side with the information sheet. Ms. Leom points out the features the poem should have.

Here are the screenshots from the last two poetry styles we wrote together in class. Ms. Leom goes through each of these steps with each class, so what is posted below would only represent the work of half the students.
