Nature Poetry

In honor of the upcoming holiday of Tu B’shvat, we are going to begin our poetry unit this year with poetry about nature. You will be creating “concrete poems,” a fun style of poetry that uses shapes as part of the poem.
Go to this website to construct your concrete poem. Choose a shape and a simple title for your poem. Here is a structure to follow:

Title
2 words that describe or tell about it, separate with commas
3 words, separate with commas
A sentence
3 words, separate with commas
2 words, separate with commas
For the last line, either repeat the title OR write a short sentence

We will be printing and next week you will illustrate these in art.
