Fourth Grade    Room 5

Mrs. Kelley

Poem:                            Student Choice

Book Report:        Poetry Collection

This month you will be reading an anthology of poetry or poetry collection and creating a poster to present the theme of the collection.  This can mean presenting one of the poems right on the poster.  It needs to be colorful and creative and invite us to check out the poems ourselves.  As always, I have good examples to share.  The poster is due on May30th when I will ask you to recite one of the poems to the class.  Whichever poem you choose, you’ll need to bring me a copy and be sure that it’s at least 24 lines long.
