Poetry Workshops with Third Graders

November 9, 2016 By Laura

Jeanette and Laura at Pinewood

(continued from yesterday’s post) [Addendum: I am so disappointed in election results. I think it’s more important than ever to reach every kid through books and reading and writing, and telling them through each of these activities: you matter. No matter what your race, religion, or gender, you matter. You are a human being, just […]

June 2, 2016 By Laura

biopoem steps

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) Shoot! I forgot until this moment that this was the first Friday of the month, so it’s a Poetry 7 day! But I promised my Young Authors Conference writers last week that I would share our work today, so I’ll have to have a two-post […]

My Biopoem Lesson Plan

June 1, 2016 By Laura

group biopoem

As I mentioned yesterday, I led biopoem sessions at a Young Authors Conference all last week. The students wrote and shared amazing poems: a silly poem about brussel sprouts, a thoughtful poem about creativity, a heartbreaking poem about gender identity and fitting in, a scary poem about rats, a celebratory poem about soccer, and SO […]

Introduction to Biopoems at the Young Authors Conference

May 31, 2016 By Laura

Last week, I got to teach at Success Beyond the Classroom’s Young Authors Conference all week at Bethel University here in the Twin Cities. Each year, this is a great chance to write with 12-15 groups of 3rd-8th graders. I always do poetry, and this year, we did biopoems. I was introduced to biopoems at […]

Group Poems from Young Authors Conference

March 14, 2016 By Laura

I had the best time in Mishiwaka, IN, at the Penn-Harris-Madison Young Authors Conference! I presented three sessions and shared, read, and wrote with groups of K-1, 2-3, and 4-5 writers. We had a blast writing some very quick group poems, and I’m sharing them here with you. I’ll share some pics and more about […]

Roanoke Island Poems by 5th Graders

February 22, 2016 By Laura

And here is my final (I think) sharing of poems (tomorrow–nonfiction) from my visit at Wealthy Elementary. With 5th graders, I was doing poems about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. They had just finished studying it, and I had planned a few possible short poem forms to work with. I was thinking we might contrast […]

Things to Do If You Are a Magnet Poems, with 1st Graders

February 17, 2016 By Laura

Oh, how much fun did I have writing Things to Do If… poems with 1st graders! I loved sharing with them how magnets are used to undent musical instruments. And also how buzz magnets make a cool noise when thrown into the air (I had found a pair in my basement while decluttering recently!). And […]

Found Poems with 3rd Graders at Wealthy Elementary

February 16, 2016 By Laura

In addition to writing found moon poems with 4th graders last week, the 3rd graders also gave them a go. (You might recall the fabulous biopoem excerpts I shared last week from the 3rd graders.)  The 3rd graders used Wonders from Wonderopolis.org as their source text. Each student had a printed copy of his or […]

rename it poems wealthy elementary poetry club

During lunch one day with the Poetry Club (3rd-5th graders), I talked about mentor texts, which teacher Kim Doele had already introduced them to. I shared a Rebecca Kai Dotlich poem I love and how I used it as a really strong mentor text. Then I shared an excerpt from a lovely free verse poem […]

Love Poems with Kindergartners at Wealthy Elementary

February 14, 2016 By Laura

Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, I don’t usually post on Sundays, but I want to share these sweet poems about love and friendship that the kindergartners wrote with me last week. I had 20-30 minutes with each of three classes. The kids and their teachers were awesome, and I loved how enthusiastically they talked about what […]
