Students have three parts to their homework tonight. The are required to:
-Reread pages 1–5 of Love That Dog. Then read “The Red Wheelbarrow” poem aloud twice to practice fluent reading skills. -Pick out one vivid word or phrase from “The Red Wheelbarrow” poem to add to the “Vivid Words and Phrases” section of your poetry journal. -Experiment with writing your own poem by completing Poetry Task 1 on the first page of the “My Poetry” section of your journal. (This was a separate sheet of paper that they were given today in class.) Most students were able to finish the first two tasks during class. Try asking your student about "free verse" or "stanzas" - two characteristics of poetry we learned about today in class.
