I am Poetry

I Am Poetry

Here is a poetry project that I did the first week of school.  I was going through pictures from this year and never shared these.  The kids loved making them and they look great hanging up or in a binder.  Here are the sheets that I created to use for publishing.

Some of my students used their extra pieces to put in their journals.

      

I was inspired by the pictures on the bottom left and the "I am" sheet on the right.  They were both one of my first pins that I found on Pinterest last summer.  The "I am" sheet is from the blog below.  I used the sheet for pre-writing.

 I cut pieces of scrapbook paper and cardstock to fit in the trading card sleeves. (you can get ten pieces if you cut them 3 1/2" by 2 1/2")  You can buy the sleeves at Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, etc.

I had them decorate both sides so I could hang on a clothesline that goes across the classroom for Open House.  They picked picked out 17 lines from the poem and added one picture.

Here are a few more samples.
