Last week we started poetry in writing. We have learned about Haikus and we have also started learning about Tankas. Today we started acrostic. Only some people got to do acrostic and some people did not get to start acrostic. A haiku is a poem that has a pattern of 5, 7, 5. A tanka is two haikus squashed together! An acrostic poem is where you make a word by stacking the letters on top of each other. Then you connect a phrase to each letter in the word. The phrase has to do something with the original word. Each person picked a theme to write all their poems on. Then we came up with topics for that theme to write individual poems with. My name is Allison and my theme is dreams. Some topics for that theme are good dreams, nightmares, and crazy dreams. My name is Sydnie and my theme is the Zoo. Some topics I have for my theme are giraffes and gorillas. Everybody will put their poems together to make a poetry book. So then everybody will have their own poetry book with all their poems in it. My name is Kate and my theme is summer, and some topics I have for my theme are popsicles and the beach. But that is what we have been doing in writing!
