Unit 5: Pictures in My Mind

Activity 7:  Collecting Seeds for Poetry (GLEs:  08, 19e, 23a, 23b)

CC:  Students keep daily entries of their everyday observations of topics, concepts, ideas (nature, animals, sports, special events), or themes (change, patterns, cycles, structures, hope, faith, courage, etc.). Teachers encourage students, by modeling, to write daily entries in their writers' notebooks about what is important to them or experiences that hold enduring meaning in their memories. These ideas are "seeds" for future poetry:  interesting pictures, words, thoughts, and others.

There are many pictures that can be accessed by going to the Search page > Learning Tools > Writing Prompts.  Although these images are designed to be used as writing prompts, they could be used viewed by students to generate a list of interesting and descriptive words and thoughts as "seeds" for future poetry.
