February 11, 2016

Independent Reading Time: 15 minutes
Writer's Notebook Entry: Image-Inspired -- Write about a person you love. What makes this person so special? (In honor of Valentine's Day, of course!) Students challenged this prompt, so we decided we could write about a person, place, or thing--lots of kids wanted to write about their dogs. :)

In groups, students used TPCASTT to analyze a poem of their choice. This analysis will help them prepare for the Literature Analysis test that they'll take tomorrow. Remember to bring your Literary Terms packet--you can use it on the test!

At the end of class, we listened to each poem to see if we could get more understanding from hearing it. Poetry is meant to be heard, after all.
