Many of you are working on 6 room poems this week.  Post your drafts and/or final copies here; I'm looking forward to reading your writing!  I posted my rough draft below.  I'd like your feedback.  What are your stars and wishes for this piece?

State Your Opinion!

Are song writers poets?  Justify your answer with solid and clear reasons. Give examples to support your thinking.  Think about poetic structures such as meter, alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme, simile, metaphor, sensory language, imagery, etc.

Non-Fiction Text

As we begin to explore non-fiction text next week, share what kind of topics are you interested in exploring.  This will make it easier for me to find pieces that meaningful to you.  Think about what you enjoy as well as what you want to learn more about.  We are about to begin some adventures!

Wow...we've been working on poems about our life's journey...here is where you can submit your poems.  I can't wait to see what you've been working on.  Feel free to reply and give stars and wishes to your classmates' poems.
