Poetry Unit

We started a poetry unit yesterday. We made a Poetry Map, showing what the students already knew about poetry. Any time a student finds a poem or books that have any type of poetry they add it to our poetry map. After creating our Poetry Map we created an acrostic poem about the New Year. 

Today we read a few poems and talked about rhyme and patterns. Then, we created a "Partner Poem" as a class.
