Thursday 05/10 Writing - Acrostic Poems

Purpose: I can write acrostic poems about people, places, things, and ideas.

1. Connection: How do these poetry structures connect?
2. Teaching Point: Today I want to teach you that acrostic poems use letters to shape their stanzas and help us understand the subject and use sensory details to help their audience see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what's happening.
3. Engagement:  YOUR Acrostic Poem
4. Link: Independent Writing Time:
• Write acrostic poems about people, places, things, and ideas you know well (Acrostic Poem Interactive)
• Write poems about things that move or make noise.
• Continue using structure to communicate your content.
• Continue using sensory words to describe weather.
• Continue personifying objects.
• Continue to write words and images for times of the year.
• Use sensory details to describe any other topic.
