Fourth Grade Writing

As a class, we created a class poem. I had the students vote and brainstorm on every aspect of creating this poem. One student was selected to be the scribe and the other students offered suggestions for each line of the poem.

The students created their own poems after we discussed the properties of the new poem and looked at samples.

As a class we put the different poems into an anchor chart and hung it up in the classroom. Creating this I was the scribe and the students told me what to write for each poem. This helped me check for mastery and correct any misconceptions they may have.

The students' poems were displayed in the hallway.
