Is poetry instruction still relevant in a time when we are preparing students for high-stakes testing in school while we read and write on cell phones, iPads, and laptops out of school?

Any opportunities educators can build a bridge between out of school and in school literacies could increase student motivation and engagement to learn. I am confident that the affordances of digital poetry instruction can provide the collaborative digital environment students’ desire while meeting the academic demands of the CCSS.

Geographic Features of Ancient Egypt and Nubiaquesoqueen
The geographic features of ancient Egypt and Nubia had significant effects on the culture, economic activities, and building materials. The dry heat allowed for mummification of the dead. The Nile river provided water for crops, a means of travel, and irrigation for farming while also facilitating trade. Deserts made farming difficult and crossing dangerous, but the heat required stone structures and mud from the Nile was used for bricks.
The geography of Egypt greatly impacted how people lived. The Nile River valley was the only fertile land, forcing people to settle and farm along its banks. The Nile Delta connected Egypt to the sea and trade with other countries, and its yearly floods enriched the soil. Vast deserts on either side isolated Egypt but provided building materials, and the Cataracts interrupted river travel and trade with Nubia to the south.

12. Oh, Jello, my jello Such a handsome, colorful fellow Hues of yellow and bright red Wobble around in my head My love for you, true Is as strong as a layer of Berry Blue My heart longs to hold you (But more often, to mold you) I love you more each passing day (Even though you lead to tooth decay) Your box is just your mobile home If you stay with me, you’ll never roam Sure, I know you’re a little roly-poly And your lime layer looks like guacamole At times I wish you were like a Twinkie Cream filling would make you better, I thinkie Oh, Jello, you’re swello When you’re wearing marshmallow You are such a gooey vice But to me, you’re a rainbow paradise! simile metaphor personification

23. So, where do you begin so that you can compete like a Broadway star in this Valentine’s Tribute Contest? Well, we’d like you to write about a non-living object you love and cherish. Just remember, it can’t be alive (or have lived), and the more unusual, the better!
24. Step 1: Brainstorm a list of topics on your paper now. Think of objects (not animals or stuffed animals) that are non-living that you adore or think might be funny (but not weird or too gross) to adore. Try to make them general (shoes) as opposed to super specific (Nike Shoe). Make sure they’re appropriate to the audience of 6th graders or teachers. See if you can get a total of 10! Examples: glue, French fries, lima beans, your toe, shoes, skateboard, dirt, the door, locker, gummy bear, golf tee, glasses, chocolate chip
25. Step 2: Decide if you want to write and perform by yourself, with a partner, or as a group of 3. Here are grouping expectations : … Work by yourself to produce 16 lines or 4 stanzas … or work with a partner (28 lines or 7 stanzas)* … or a group of 3 (32 lines or 8 stanzas) *Best choice!
26. Step 3: QUIETLY , Get together with your partner(s) or stay in your seat and QUIETLY read over your lists. QUIETLY , circle the best ideas. Then, try to narrow it down to one by QUIETLY discussing them. (Remember, the funnier, the better!)
28. Step 4: QUIETLY, write (with everyone writing on their own papers) lists of words and phrases you might want include. List them out like you’re thinking of a person, rather than an object. This will help you with writing your poem (You may not be able to fill in all of these): A. Related words: B. Appearance: C. It’s actions: D. Things it might say: E. Who it hangs out with: F. It’s environment (where it lives): G. Interesting adjectives you might use to describe it (wiggly, blue): H. Sounds or smells: I. Interesting similes you might use (It’s as ____as a _______, It’s like a ________.) Make sure they’re not cliché. J. Interesting Metaphors? (It’s a ______.) K. Interesting Hyperbole: (Exaggeration) The wedge of cheese weighed more than the refrigerator!)
29. A. Related words: B. Appearance: C. It’s actions: D. Things it might say: E. Who it hangs out with: F. It’s environment (where it lives): G. Interesting adjectives you might use to describe it (wiggly, blue): H. Sounds or smells: I. Interesting similes you might use (It’s as ____as a _______, It’s like a ________.) Make sure they’re not cliché. J. Interesting Metaphors? (It’s a ______.) K. Interesting Hyperbole: (Exaggeration) The wedge of cheese weighed more than the refrigerator!)
30. Step 5: Start your first lines or stanza introducing the item in some way. Keep in mind that the goal is to share how much it is loved, or liked, in a “Valenetiney” type of way. Here are some interesting ways to begin, which also have rhythm (rhythm will make it easier for you to perform, but you don’t have to have rhythm.) You may use them…or not! Oh, ________, my __________... Oh, ______, how we love thee… Nothing can compare to you… Call it _____, call it _______ Sometimes, when I’m feeling down… We love it so much, we must tell you why… ______is fantastic, ____is so great There’s nothing better than a _____... When I’m sad and lonely, too… Listen up, I’m here to say… (Cheese) is great, (Cheese) is good,

32.
33. Examples: Cheese is great, cheese is neat (A) I love it more than pie (B) (Hyperbole) Cheese is great, cheese is neat, (A) They only food we want to eat! (A) (Hyperbole) Do you also hear the rhythm?
34. Step 7: Decide…which pattern do you want to use? Here are some examples. Be sure to look at the END RHYME PATTERN:
35. AAAA (the toughest, for experts only…) Cheese is great, cheese is neat, (A) The only food we want to eat! (A) (Hyperbole) Colby, Swiss and Jack (with meat,) (A) And cheddar is the cheese to beat! (A) ABAB (Very tough, too!) Cheese is great, cheese is neat (A) We love it more than pie (B) (Hyperbole) It’s the only thing to eat, (A) We’re here to tell you why (B) AABB (Very tough, too!) Cheese is great, cheese is neat, (A) They only food we want to eat! (A) (Hyperbole) We love it more than apple pie, (B) And we’re here to tell you why! (B) ABCB (The easiest!...take the easy route!) Cheese is great, cheese is neat (A) We love it more than pie(B) (Hyperbole) It’s sharp, it’s mild, it’s simply best(C) We’re here to tell you why (B)
36. Step 8: Write a rough draft of your poem (EACH PERSON WRITING IT OUT ON THEIR OWN PAPER) paying attention to the following, as you write: 1. Introduce the awesome item near the beginning. 2. Write from your point of view…put yourself in the writing! 3. Pay attention to rhyme pattern as you write. 4. Lightly tap out the rhythm as you go, like it’s a song…does it sound in rhythm? 5. Use CREATIVE WORDS, rather than average, dull ones…you only get so many words in a poem…make them count! 6. Write to give an overall picture of the total awesomeness of this object, and remember: … By yourself? 16 lines or 4 stanzas … Partners? (28 lines or 7 stanzas) … Groups of 3 (32 lines or 8 stanzas) 7. Use a good combination or 3 or more of the following Simile: Comparing unlike things…using LIKE or AS Hyperbole: Exaggerating to prove a point Personification: Give the object human traits! Metaphor : Compare unlike things, without using LIKE/AS 8. Make sure the last lines bring the poem to a conclusion, not just leave us hanging! Also, make sure there are no cliché endings!
37. Step 9: Revise and Edit it: Look over the directions again. Change your writing to make sure everything is there. * Spelling should be correct…check over every word. * Write it out on notebook paper…and… Step 10: All members, design one copy like a Valentine’s card on large sheet of construction paper. The poem can start on the outside and finish on the inside….or the poem can be just on the inside. * Include a picture on the outside of the card, so it resembles a card you might give to that thing!
38. Call it Fromage, call it Queso, I’ll call it on the phone, if you say so melt it, bake it, fry it too take a bath in a pot of fondue! As a casserole topping All bubbly and brown, It makes every snack time The talk of the town. Like a party, a nap Or a flower bouquet Cheese helps me cope When it’s not a Gouda day. Most every lunch meal Can be sharpened with cheese And its pungent aroma Will keep away fleas!
