Discuss an Ah-ha (something you learned) about poetry from Chapter 11?
I had an ah-ha moment when I read about poetry not having to rhyme. When I was reading all the types of poetry, some were just random words about a certain subject or thing. You can put them all together and get a feeling or picture in your mind. Poems are not about serious subjects, they do not rhyme, and don't start with capitalization and punctuation. There are now certain rules for poems and there is no such thing as a bad poem. Reading this really shines a light on poetry for me. That was my Ah-ha moment.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom.
I would use a color poem for my students to write.... Blue is the sky after a rainy day. Blue can be the water you swim in all day. Blue is your favorite jeans you wear to school. etc. After my students are finished writing their color poem, I would use the gallery walk. I would model how to view, read , and respond during the gallery walk. All students would move around the room and view, read, and respond on sticky notes with comments on their classmates work. At the end of the walk students would view their sticky notes. Students may share or talk about the experience on the gallery walk.

My Ah-ha that I learned about poetry from reading this chapter would be that poetry can be taught several ways as teaching students how to write poems, and showing them several different ways a poem can be written. Especially if a poem is being judged or getting grades from writing a poem, first the teacher needs to give the expectations of your poem then give students examples of writing one. As this is what I learned or picked up when reading about a student not given a rule and then she is told that is not how it is done. When poems are written so many ways and when teaching them how to write a poem depends on grade level or what knowledge they have in writing poems.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom.
I would use the wish poem as using this type of poem they would start out their sentence with I wish and then list what they want to wish for. This would be for the younger grades as to give the older grades a challenge have them elaborate more on one wish they pick and as several ways to get that wish. I saw this in the classrooms we visited as they had their face or side of their face and blew a flower and made a wish. Then add the wishes in the wind as they blew. Or this can be used and any grade and have the students make a wish list for their family on what they wish for the holidays.
Discuss an Ah-ha (something you learned) about poetry from Chapter 11? My Ah-ha moment for chapter 11…..Performing Poems. Students will share their understanding of a poem as they perform it for classmates. One way is using choral reading, in which students take turns reading a poem together. Students arrange the poem for choral reading so that the individual students, pairs of students, and small groups read particular lines or stanzas using one of these arrangements. Echo Reading, Leader and Chorus Reading, Small-Group Reading, and Cumulative reading. I think this is a great idea for student oral presentation.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom.
For my first graders I would first read the story The Night Before First Grade by Natasha Wing then we would make an “I Am Poem” instead of being a character from the book. I would explain to my first graders that we are going to pretend that we are a character in the book and were going to write about how we felt about going to the first grade on the first day of school. Were you nervous, excited, scared, or happy? I would have them start out their poems by writing their name. Ex I am Olivia. Then I would have them explain how they felt about being a new first grader in their poems. Then I would display the poems on a bulletin board for my first graders to read & share!

I thought it was very interesting to read about poetry and English learners. I never would have thought about the benefits of using poetry to teach language. They can become more fluent and gain vocabulary through poetry. One great idea that was stated in the book was have an English learner recite a poem in their own language and then have them translate it to the class in English. This would be a great activity for a student who is learning the English language. The book also stated that poetry can help students build confidence. With practice and memorization students can feel accomplishment when reciting poetry.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom.
I think that the first types of poems that we are introduced to as children are rhyming poems. I think that this is a great start to poetry. I feel that this is the easiest way to get students to start writing poetry. I would read the students a handful of poems that have rhyme. I would then ask them to pick a poem and draw what they “see” from the poem. I would then have them compose their own poem, and do the same thing.
Discuss an Ah-ha (something you learned) about poetry from Chapter 11? I really like all the different types of poems they had listed throughout the chapter. Also the ways to recite the poems as a small group, like the echo reading was a good idea.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom. In the kindergarten classroom we could make a wish poem where each student tells me what they wish for and I will write it on a poster board. Starting each line with “I Wish..” (pg. 325)
Discuss an Ah-ha (something you learned) about poetry from Chapter 11? The Ah-ha I have learned was teaching poetry to young children. From what I can recall, I never knew about poetry until I was in Jr. High and I loved it! I wrote poems all the time and even got published before in a book. Just think if I was introduced to it earlier, that would have been nice. One of the basics of poetry is rhyming and students learn rhyming at the preschool level. Just think how their poetry writing/reading skills will be when they hit higher grade levels if you introduce a new concept of poetry or poem type every year.
Describe one type of poem that children could write and how you would use it in your classroom. I know that word picture isn't listed under the types of poems, but I would choose word pictures for my moon unit and my grade level. I would have the students write a poem in the shape of a moon using the characteristics or words to describe it.

One thing that I captured from this chapter was reflecting back on the poems that I did growing up. Onomatopoeia, alliteration, and haiku's were some poems that I have had experience with. I know that poems must not rhyme as they represent some form of emotion for the writer. Spoken word poetry has always been a favorite of mine.

Comparison poems such as comparing yourself to an animal would be really fun. The students can get pretty imaginative when seeing what kind of animals they would be.
