Wanna know a little (no really a BIG) trick to get all students writing poetry??
Start by having them copy poems they enjoy into a poetry notebook!
I keep it simple for the notebooks, 20 pieces of white cardstock stapled or bound together works great.
By having them copy their favorite poems you're...
1. Taking the pressure of writing your own poems out the gate.
2. Teaching students to pay attention to spacing and line breaks in poems.
3. Allowing them a safe place to explore the poems they connect to the most.
The 2nd edition to the OOTWL Units of Study will be released this summer.
Mentor texts in every unit? YUP!
Custom illustrations by my amazingly talented daughter, Malaya? FOR SURE!
Teacher suggested language in every lesson? YOU BETCHA!
Student note-taking pages? OF COURSE!
Sample anchor charts for each day? WITHOUT A DOUBT!
Grading rubrics, editing/revising checklists/ conference forms, teacher management pages, graphic organizers, thinkmarks? YES YES YES!
The BEST part of all this...if you already own a copy of the 1st edition, you'll receive THE 2ND EDITION FOR FREE!
Who's ready for summer!???!?? 🙌😂😉
Teaching readers to notice how punctuation affects meaning is so important. Choose a paragraph from your own reading and make a list with your class!
