What poet did you write about last week in the WebQuest? One is one fact about him or her? -Tell Mrs. K in the text chat.
Now! • Today we will begin looking at your chance to write your own poems! • I will start by answering your questions about the project.
How many poems do we have to write? • As many as you want! • At least 5.
What types of poems do we have to write? At least: One concrete/shape poemOne acrostic poemOne poem using a rhyme scheme
When are our poems due? • May 30th is the official due date.
How do we write a poem? • The activities in the newest pages of our WebQuest will give you step by step directions. • Our next few live learning classes will be devoted to different types of poems and how to write them.
Other than poems, do we have to write anything else? • Yes! There will be a written summary you will need to write when you are all done. • You will write this by using questions provided on the last page of our WebQuest.
How to we turn them in? • It is up to you! • If you would like to make a book and mail it to me I will give you an envelope (if you e-mail me and ask nicely!) • If you want to make it powerpoint or a fancy word document you can do that too! • Powerpoints and word documents will be turned in to a Dropbox.
Do we have to make a book or powerpoint? • No, but you MUST get creative! • You may NOT just write some poems on paper and turn them in! • You must decorate! Use pictures, drawings, clip art, colors, etc…to make your poems as pretty to look at as they are to read!
How many points is this project worth? • 100 points!
How do the points work? • Your first 5 poems=50 points. • Each additional poem is worth 10 additional points. • Presenting your project in a fun way like a book, powerpoint, etc…is worth 20 points. • Your written summary is worth 20 points. • You get 10 points for following directions.
What does this mean? • This means if you have a bad grade in this class you could do a good job on this project and write 10 more poems, which would earn you 200 points. • 200 points would really help bring up a bad grade!
Will we get to share our poems? • Yes! During the last week of school students will have the opportunity to share their poems in class but…. • You only have to share if you want to! • You MUST turn the poems in to Mrs. K first!
What if I can’t write poems? What if I am bad at it? • Writing poetry is tough stuff! The important thing is that you try your best! That is what I will grade you on!
What do we have to write about? • Write poems about stuff your care about, like, or think is interesting/cool/funny! • Your poems do NOT have to be “Roses are red, violets are blue…” mushy, yucky love stuff unless that is what YOU want!
Mrs. K is nothing if not fair! • I don’t feel very comfortable writing poetry either! • In fact I haven’t had to write a poem since I took a creative writing class in high school! • While you write your poems I will also write my own and share them too!
