Free Verse Poetry

I was very excited about teaching free verse poetry today. To begin the lesson, my students had to brainstorm and jot down their weather memories. Then they chose their favorite memory and completed a sensory chart. In order to help them get their creative juices flowing, I even played a CD during this time of….yep...a rainy day. Now I am sweetly smiling and pleased that they seem to really be into this activity, when a student blurts out, “Ms. Wise, this CD makes me want to go pee!”
