What will be taught during this writing unit of study?
In this unit students will begin by observing every day objects in their world with poets' eyes and choosing topics that give them a big feeling. Ask your child how their poet's eyes differ from their regular eyes. Your children will also experiment with language and sound to create meaning. This will include precise words, repetition, and comparisons. They will end the unit by experimenting with a variety of structures such as list or point of view poems. All students are enjoying this new genre.
