You need to divide your paper into six sections. Each has a subtitle: Image, Light, Sound, Questions, Feelings, Theme.
We climbed up the hill and each found our own person spot. We looked around to see what we'd see for Images. We tried to be creative and as descriptive as possible.
Then, we chose our favourite lines and put them together in a poem.
We had to rearrange lines so that they were connected or had a theme.
"I loved how all of the class was very descriptive in their words, especially with how they felt. I also liked being outside and feeling peace in nature." ~ Desiree
"We started practising this because we're going to do this type of poetry when we go to Mustard Seed School in February." ~ D
"I liked how we could make it as creative as we wanted to. We could look around in a peaceful place and make juicy sentences." ~ Sophia
"I developed my grammar skills in this activity when I had a conference with Ms Elder." ~ Jaxton
"I liked being outside and noticing different noises." ~ Ina
Here are two samples of our work. It was very hard to choose!
It is ever so devastating that traffic bursts your
creativity
Are the trees trying determinedly to talk to me?
Big birds exclaim, “Caw caw,” like a crow
And teeny, little chickadees say, “chick a dee dee dee.”
The chinook arch has blessed us for warmer weather
I am joyful
Nature is so beautifully loveable in peace
Nature is also lovable when
A jack rabbit apocalypse comes
The wind quietly blows into my ear
And bounces off my ear drum whispering “whooooo”.
~ Desiree
The trees are so tall they’re holding up the sky
I can see the birds fly
I can see the snow glow
I can hear the wind blow
It’s cloudy with some sun
Everyone’s having fun
I see the rink lights
Especially when it comes to night
When I lay down, the light blinds my eyes
I can hear guys
It’s very cold
And the sky is bold
