Bud the Teacher is hosting National Poetry Month Challenge. Then there is NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month. So many choices. Today I will introduce my students to the Dictionary Hike.

Slice of Life
I love the freedom of thoughts in flight
Winging into and out of lines
Dipping, wading, hovering
Just out of sight
What shall I write?
My thoughts are amorphous
Without shape
Today I begin the Dictionary Hike.
Catching up again! I love that interesting rhyme you did with each first line. I'm glad you're taking several challenges; should be lots of fun. I might try Amy's sometime. I used to play poetry poker with my students. I had hundreds of words in box & they drew 5, as in 5 card draw, & had to use 3 of the words in a poem. They loved it. I bet your students will love the dictionary hike!
ReplyDeleteI did the hike with one of my classes this morning. Except I gave them the choice of just prose or a poem. I need to give them more strategies so they are comfortable with writing poems.
ReplyDeleteThe poetry poker sounds intriguing. I would love to know more.
I'll look for my lesson Ruth so I won't forget something.
