We are Poets!

We brainstormed about the Gingerbread men we had eaten using our five senses. 

As a class, we wrote a five senses poem about gingerbread men. The students wrote on their own white boards while I wrote what they dictated to me.

We brainstormed about Christmas using our five senses.

Then students used the ideas we brainstormed to write their own five senses poem about Christmas.

We brainstormed about Christmas trees by creating a bubble map.

Then we created a shape poem about a Christmas tree. I wrote what the students dictated as they wrote on their own white boards at the same time.

We brainstormed about presents by creating a bubble map.

Then students used our bubble map to write their own shape poems about presents.
