Poetry Assignment
I have decided to do Thanksgiving acrostics with my students for my poetry project. I will do it whole class during November when we are studying Thanksgiving. We will read lots of Thanksgiving stories as well as lots of acrostic poetry. For their research I am going to try to find a Thanksgiving webquest that we can do as a class or in small groups. We will do our class poem with the word Thanksgiving, but I will let them brainstorm a list of Thanksgiving words to use for their own poems. I will give them an invitation that looks like a Turkey with the rubric printed inside. I will also give them another copy of the rubric to use when they are writing. I am planning on using the acrostic books we read for class as well as trying to find any books on Thanksgiving acrostic poetry.
