Pictures are worth a thousands words…as the saying goes. Lately, we’ve been looking at images to spark ideas, questions, thoughts, emotions. In class, we’ve brainstormed ideas and words that come to mind regarding certain pictures. 

Look at this poem we wrote together about a shark…

Jumping

Leaping

Exploding

Screaming teeth

Rocketing out

Thrashing fins

Black-tipped

Enormous body

Powerful, strong

Apex predator

Students have been asked to select a picture we showed in class or to find their own and write a poem about it. We are encouraged to use some of the strategies and techniques learned in class to make our poems come to life!
