Last week the Fantastic 4th Graders participated in a super cool lesson directed by our awesome friend Ms. Dixson in the cafeteria. She shared many of her personal thoughs and hobbies and ideas with us in a Circle Map. Then, she took those details about herself and started writing a poem. She called it 'My Writing Territories'.
These are some of the things that she considered in order to write her poem:
- Memories: early, earlier, and recent.
- Obsessions.
- Problems.
- Dreams.
- Understandings.
- Confusions.
- Passions.
- Sorrows.
- Risks.
- Accomplishments.
- Fears.
- Worries.
- Fantasies.
- Family, close and distant.
- Friends, now and then.
- Favorites, now and then.
- Teachers, now and then.
- Places: school, camp, trips, times away with friends and relatives.
- Hobbies.
- Sports.
- Games.
- Music.
- Books.
- Poems.
- Songs.
- Movies.
- Writers and artists.
- Food.
- Pet peeves.
- Beloved things - objects and possessions - now and then.
- All the loves of your life.
I will share MY POEM during the weekend. Will you share yours here, please?
Mr. Carpio
