Ocean Poetry 2005

Our
poems were planned using a 6 box graphic organizer. We just folded
paper into thirds and then in half. A brainstormed word list was
written on our chalkboard and shared by everyone. Each student wrote words
that might be used in the poem. The next day, a first draft was
written and read to classmates. The following day a conference was
held with teacher/student to reread and make any changes. Finally, the
"finished" copy was written.
