April Literacy Project

Boys and Girls-

If you take the time to read this and comment for me, you'll be able to help me decide which project will be our April literacy homework focus.  Please read over both choices below and leave your comment as to which you'd prefer.  Make sure to sign your name so I know you contributed.  The project with the most votes will be our literacy focus.

1.  You will keep a weekly journal of poems.  Each week you will need to find a previously published poem and copy it into your journal.  (Either by hand or print it and paste it into your journal).  You must then write a poem of your own using the same structure and subject matter.  At the end of the month you'll need to turn in four found poems and four original poems.  This projects due date will be April 30.

2.  Students will research a published poet and create a poster presentation of the poet.  The poster will need to include facts about the poets life, how he or she came up with ideas, a picture of the poet as well as three poems copied onto the poster.  These will be due April 18th and presented at Dads and Doughnuts on the 19th.

**Please vote by Sunday, April 7.  Your comments will stay private (You won't be able to see your comment but I will.) until Sunday night.  Don't worry if you post a comment and it doesn't show up, that's because I'm keeping them private.  You just need to make sure that Blogger tells you the comment was submitted.

**FYI:  the project NOT voted on as a homework project MIGHT be an in class project.
