Poetry Books

In the month of March we learned about 4 different types of poems: acrostic, portrait, haiku, and 2 words on a line poem.  The students wrote several of each type of poem and chose their favorite of each type to publish.  To publish our poems we typed them and added unique artwork to each.  We also included a page about the author.  After finishing up our books, we invited the first grade class into our room to share our poems with.  Since then our books have been on the rug in a basket.  The students love reading each other's poems.  They are beautiful booklets!
