Student Biopoems: Creating a Class Community
The first writing project for my sixth grade this year is a BioPoem in which our young writers create an 11-line poem about themselves based on a series of prompts that explore emotions, fears and family.
To move beyond the personal and more towards a community of writers, we created Class Audio Biopoems in which each student contributed one line from their poem.
Take a listen:
Peace,
Kevin

Hi again, Donna.
Thanks for stopping by.
The poem project is always a great way to get my students writing at the start of the year and this audio component added to the incentive for them. Plus, it was added incentive for their parents to view our classroom Weblog, where these were originally posted.
Take care,
Kevin
