Student Instructions

First look at the examples of poems attached. The first two are written by the poet Amy Ludwig Vanderwater. She writes poems about things she finds on her farm. The poems on slides 3 and 4 were written by students like you about about an object that was important to them! 1. Pick an object that is important to you from around your house / classroom. Your poem will be easier to write if the object that you pick is meaningful to you. 2. Use your new poetry skills to write a poem about your object. Remember to try to look at things in new ways.
