GEAR UP FOR LIFE
TOPIC: Poetry
Project

 

Decide on something that you want to write a poem about.  It can be a mountain, an animal, a plant.  It can be anything that has a recognizable shape.  Write a few descriptions about it that fit its shape. Think of the tree poem you read, and write something similar, using the shape of the object. Below is an example of a kitten outline.

    

NOTE: Poetry often uses incomplete sentences – it’s OK here.  However, don’t do this in any other type of writing where complete sentences are necessary for meaning.
