1. Important
Poems:
Children write their
own Important Poems based on The
Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown.
I use this technique
often. After we have finished a unit, then I have them write an important
poem to show what they
remember.
An important poem
example: The most important thing about a pencil is
you write with it. It has lead and an eraser. You write spelling words
with it.
You write notes to Junie B. with it. You get a new one for 25 cents
from the
office. But the most important thing about a pencil is you write with
it.
Basically, the kids
pick one fact for the beginning and the ending sentence (same
fact) then they list facts in the between. I compare it to an oreo cookie.
I give
each kid a cookie and the figure out the top and bottom are the same...
