<ol style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 22px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Prepare for the session by loading the <a href="http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Dictionary.html" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Little Explorers Picture Dictionary</a> on computers.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Display the letter/word matrix and blank chart paper side-by-side on a flat surface.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Read and show some acrostic poems to students, using the examples that you have chosen from the Resources section or the <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/lesson_images/lesson309/acrostic_books.pdf" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">booklist</a>.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Gather students and explain that they will help you write a poem using the letters in your name, and you need them to help you think of some words.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">On chart paper, write your own first name vertically down the left side, so that each letter can be the first letter of the first word of one line. Be sure to do this in front of the students (rather than in advance), so that the starting format can be modeled for the students.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students read the letters aloud, starting at the top.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Then write your name and the verb "is" on the top line, using the first letter. For instance, I would write, "Renee is."<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Ask students to suggest some words which begin with the next letter and which can describe you.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Write all appropriate suggestions on the letter/word matrix and explain that the chart is going to be a word bank the whole class can use.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">If no one can come up with an appropriate word, refer to the online dictionary for some ideas. Show students how to find lists of words by clicking on a letter.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Choose at least one word from the online dictionary and have a student add it to the matrix.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">When you have a few possible words, choose one and complete a phrase or sentence, writing it down and having students read it with you.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Continue the process with all the letters of your name. My example:<blockquote style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 13.312px;">
Renee is<br />Energetic,<br />Never bored,<br />Extremely helpful<br />Extra kind.<br /></blockquote>
</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">When the poem is complete, have students read it aloud together and then talk about it. Does it make sense? Do you get a picture of the person by reading the poem? Did we use complete sentences or just words and phrases? Is there anything we should change?<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">If changes are suggested, talk about them and change some words if desired.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Leave the poem displayed on the wall.</li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Before starting, review the large chart paper matrix.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students suggest more words for the matrix, and especially for any blank spaces. Try to have at least two words in each space.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students begin by writing their names in capital letters down the left side of a sheet of paper, then to begin their poem by completing their name and adding "is" to the top line.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Invite them to help each other find words they need that begin with the letters of their names, and to use those words in phrases.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have adult helpers assist students as needed, if they are available.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">As students work, invite them to add any particularly interesting words to the matrix for others to use, too. Keep in mind that they will be doing another acrostic poem about something they like, so including some of these images in their name poems would be particularly good.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">As students finish their poems, have them informally share with each other. Working with pairs or small groups of students, invite them to give each other suggestions. Encourage students to rewrite their poems on clean paper if they have done a lot of erasing. When all students are finished, have volunteers read their poems aloud to the group.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Collect the poems and keep them for later use.</li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Post a blank piece of chart paper to the right of your name poem.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Gather students and explain that they are going to write another acrostic poem, this time about something that is important to them.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Ask students to tell about some things that are important to them. Suggestions might be a pet, a favorite person, a favorite food, and so forth.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Quickly review the process with students and give directions by choosing something that is a favorite of yours and writing that word down the left side of the chart paper.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Then write the word and the verb "is" (or "are" if appropriate). For instance, you might write "Hedwig is" or "Cookies are."<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have a student suggest words for the second line. It isn't necessary to complete this whole poem, since students have already been through the process.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students choose what they will write about before they get a sheet of paper to begin.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Ask them to write the word down the left side of the paper and show it to you before they begin writing their poem. At this point, you can check the spelling.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">As with the first poem, invite students to help each other, use an adult helper for extra assistance, encourage students to share their finished drafts with each other, and invite students to write a clean copy if necessary. </li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Make sure they understand that they should read all the poems in their group, so that everyone will get lots of suggestions and help.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Point out to students that suggestions are optional, and that this is a time to try out different ideas, to get help with spelling, and to finish up their poems before they make a new, clean copy for publishing.<br /></li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Introduce the activity by discussing the importance of using descriptive language to get one's message across, emphasizing both speaking and listening skills.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Practice by describing the characteristics of several exposed objects. Encourage students to talk about the shape, size, material, feel (e.g., hard/soft, bumpy/smooth, pointy/round) and possible uses of the objects.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Place an object (or already have one) in the bag, making sure the students don't get a glimpse of it.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Tell the students that there is an object in the bag, and they will be given five clues to help them guess what the object is.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Choose five students.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Explain that, without looking, each of them will feel the object inside of the bag and give one clue to describe it.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Be prepared to prompt students who might have difficulty developing clues. For example, "Is it hard or soft?" "Does it have corners or curves?" "From what material is it made?"<br /></li>

For this game you will need: objects, a student leader (the person who has the unrevealed object), a student checker (the person whom the object is revealed to prior to any questions), and a student to keep tallies of the number of questions asked.<br /><br />The leader has an object in mind or hidden. They must tell/show the object to a designated checker before the questions begin. The students then ask a total of 20 yes/no questions to determine the object. For example, one might ask, "Can you eat it?" The leader responds with a "yes" or "no." This game encourages students to be good listeners and problem solvers. The answers to previous questions will help students determine what they should ask next.<br /></li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Ask students what they think a shape poem is. (If you are working with older students, you could introduce the term <em>concrete poem</em> versus <em>shape poem</em>.) Brainstorm ideas for the definition of a shape poem to get students thinking and making predictions about the lesson’s content. Students’ ideas may include that a shape poem is a poem about a shape, or that it is a poem using shapes, or that it is a poem written inside of a shape. You will revise and clarify the definition as you read, so it is not important to start with a correct definition at this point in the lesson.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Introduce the book <em>Flicker Flash</em> by Joan Bransfield Graham to the class. Tell students that you will be reading aloud a few poems from the book. For each poem, do not read the title; titles should be covered with sticky notes. After reading the poem, invite students to guess the title. Lead students to use both the poem’s words and shape to formulate their guesses. After several guesses, reveal the title. Continue in this manner for as many poems as you have time.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students brainstorm definitions for shape poems again, this time guiding students to a final definition for a shape poem using the knowledge gained from reading a few models. The final definition should include these ideas: a shape poem is written in the shape of the topic, and the poem’s words describe its topic.</li>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="session2"></a><span class="upper" style="text-transform: uppercase;">SESSION 2: MODELED/GUIDED PRACTICE OF WRITING SHAPE POEMS (30 MINUTES)</span></h3>
<ol style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 22px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Write a sample shape poem together as a class before having students write one independently. You may choose a shape for the poem or have the class vote on a few choices. Choose something the class enjoys and can describe well, such as the sun, an ice cream cone, a snowman, or a flower. Either draw a shape on the board, or if possible, project the interactive <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/shape-poems-30044.html" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Theme Poems</a> tool on screen and create a poem using that. This allows students to see how to use the tool so that they can use it independently in the computer lab during Session 4. The interactive tool creates the poem inside a shape, but the words do not necessarily create the shape themselves; these theme poem are slightly different than a true shape poem. Note this difference to students, which provides a good review of Session 1.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">After deciding on a shape, ask students to think of words and phrases that describe the subject. Focus on having students use as many of their five senses as possible. Now is a good time to discuss using words that “paint pictures in the reader’s mind” or that help the reader feel like he or she experiences what you, as the author, experience. Ask for volunteers to contribute words and phrases that describe the shape you chose. (If you drew a shape on the board, write those words inside the shape. If you are projecting the interactive Theme Poems tool, type those words on the Think of Words screen and then place them inside the shape.)<br /><br />As students brainstorm words for the poem, prompt them to use their five senses by asking, “What does it look/sound/smell/taste/feel like?” For example, if you are writing about an apple, the class should include description such as, “They can be red. They are juicy. Sweet juice drips down from my mouth as I crunch into the apple…crunch, crunch. They have soft insides and hard skins.” Choose whether or not you would like the class to use complete sentences, solely list words and phrases inside the shape, or do a mixture of both. <strong>Note:</strong>The interactive <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/shape-poems-30044.html" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Theme Poems</a> tool imposes a character limit on words inside the shape.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">After completing the poem, hand out copies of the <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/30582_checklist.pdf" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Five Senses Checklist</a>. As you read the class-created poem aloud, ask students if you wrote about the senses of sight and hearing in ways that help them experience it, too. (For example, if writing about an apple, ask the class, “Do you feel like you are seeing the apple? If not, what should we say to describe it better?”) Next, as a class, have students read the poem for the senses of smell, taste, and touch. Have students complete the checklist by determining if they can experience those senses from reading the poem. Add more description if students feel like they are not experiencing a specific sense.</li>

(Shapes are divided into the following categories: Nature, Sports, Celebrations, Shapes, and School. Sample shapes include a sun, leaf, fish, star, book, cake, football, soccer ball, basketball, heart, balloon, and gift.) Have students pick the shape they like best—one for which they feel they can give a lot of description. Make sure students’ chosen shapes are different from your modeled example from Session 2.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Have students write down descriptive words and phrases about their chosen shape on the Think of Words screen or on a sheet of paper. Then have them arrange the descriptive words into the chosen shape, and print if using the online tool. After writing this first draft, have students review their writing using the <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/30582_checklist.pdf" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Five Senses Checklist</a>, and revise any descriptive words that may not meet the criteria on the checklist.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Once students have revised their writing using the information from the checklist, have them meet with a partner to get feedback. Have both partners exchange poems and read each other’s poems using a second copy of the checklist. Ask partners to make sure they, as the readers, feel they can experience what the author does by reading the poems. The partners should switch poems and checklists back and explain their ratings on the checklist. Have authors make any necessary revisions to their poems based on the feedback they received from their partners.</li>

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">If you have not already done so in Session 2, show students how to use the interactive <a href="http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/shape-poems-30044.html" style="background: none; color: #3399aa; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Theme Poems</a> tool independently. Have students first select a shape. Have them skip the Think of Words section this time and instead start typing their poem into their chosen shape. Minor revisions may be needed to fit with the tool’s character count restrictions. Students should check their spelling and print their poems when they finish.<br /></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 16.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">Place the students into groups of three. Designate one person in each group to read his or her poem aloud to the rest of the small group. Then have the other two students share one thing they liked about the reader’s poem. Switch readers so that everyone has a turn to share their poem. This acts as a form of publishing and authors’ celebration. When all students have read their poems within their groups, have them hand in a copy of their final poems.</li>

This is a book of shape poems where the poems’ shapes and content determine the order and direction they should be read. It is a fun but challenging book and would be best for second grade and older. After reading, have students create their own shape poems modeled after Burg’s.</li>

This could be connected to content learning; for example, if students are learning about a butterfly’s life cycle in science, they could create their own butterfly shape poem using facts and description of butterflies and their life cycles.</li>
