This afternoon, please select a partner. This will be your poetry "buddy" for today.
With your buddy, take turns naming common items found in your house, in your yard, or common items people use everyday. Try to come up with a common list of about 20.
Then say good-bye to your buddy for a few minutes. Read SILENTLY the packet of poems by Ralph Fletcher (Ordinary Things). Spend 15-20 minutes reading silently. If you finish early work on module 1 in eLearning or wherever you left off last class.
After 20 minutes of reading, gather your belongings, grab a pencil/pen and your journal and/or notebook and await further instructions. Stand with your buddy and let's begin.
