Poetry
  
We have started a new unit!  Poetry!
  Every morning, we write a journal.  So since this is a poetry
    unit, we are writing poetry journals.
   
  Before started anything, we evaluated a poem by a famous writer.
      I read "Sick," by Shel Silverstein.
   
 
  The first thing we studied in poetry was imagery.  We began
    by a describing exercise.  Then we wrote a poem.

  Before Christmas Break, we wrote odes about some part of winter.
      Mine is a Snow Ode.
   
  Also, we wrote parodys to famous Christmas songs.  Tiffany
    and I worked together to write Mr. Claus.  It goes to the
    tune of the Grinch one.  (you know, "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch...")
   
  At the end of this poetry unit, we studied 3 types of poetry using
    the Discovering Poetry site.
