Poetree. or Poetry. Either way.
One of the things the teachers did is to glue the poem into the students’ readers’ notebooks. Then they took the poem and color-coded these structures in it. From there, they took one of the poems and cut it apart to glue into the “examples” section.
Do you like my poetree? lol I crack myself up.
This chart is an anchor for the different forms of poetry. This one is a tough one for kids & teachers, I’ve noticed. (Technically, there are three types of poetry, but we don’t work with the dramatic form, so I kept it down to 2, even though three may have been prettier.)
If you notice, there are some weird lines clearly from the back of the paper that criss-cross throughout the poetree. That’s because I had to sketch it more than once to make it look right. Cut me some slack, ok? I’m sleepy.
Not really on the topic, but one time my dad was telling a story about Segways and he kept pronouncing it "Sedge-way" and I couldn't stop laughing!!
Good luck with your video. 🙂
Marvelous Multiagers!
A bit off topic, too, but my mom was on the radio and pronounced it 'seg' and couldn't figure out why the host looked confused! She'd never heard it, only seen it and tried to apply the phonics rule like in the word 'vague'! Cracks us both up to this day!
