I heard the bell in the end of my first period class. So I hurried to my second period class, which was English. I got in the doorway, slipped on the ice, and fell flat on my face! It hurt! So I got up quickly and laughed around with Kolby about it. Then the second bell rang, and we sat down. First, Mrs. Morrow told us some more helpful advice for our Poetry Portfolios! They basically tell the reader about poetry and such things. After that, we started to work on our Portfolios. It is hard to explain what we did today, because we just worked on our project. But, I did manage to snippidy-snap some pictures, and here they are!

 So that's what we did in English7! I hope you had fun reading this essay, but don't make fun of me because I slipped. Because it is Winter!

Nebraska List Poem

NEBRASKA

filled with mazes of corn 

home to the colleges of the University of Nebraska Lincoln

Corn huskers proudly represent our state

the flat land flourishes with lush pastures

dotted with cattle

wild life that runs free across the rough land

the sweet flower scented air

this is what I love about 

NEBRASKA

The bell rang and we all scurried to our next class, English. Ready to start the period with daily warm up. Today our warm was to draw a stick figure person with the four words of Personality, Body Part, Actions, and Feelings in the four corners of the paper. We then wrote three things to define the four words under each of the categories. We then read more in our book, “Love That Dog.”

Next, we got a paper that said what personification was and that we were going to create personification poems today.  We were read a few example poems and how to use personification in our poems. We then read a book about a few personification poems. 

 Finally, we were sent to make our poems.

Once we wrote our poems, we used the iPads to find a picture that went in with our poems. We then used an app called Chatter Pix to put in our photos and read our poem to. It then makes a short video of the poem and the picture wit some animations. Soon, the bell rang again, and it was time to go to next period.

            “Yes, I finished my math homework.” “Beep.” "There go’s the bell, better get to English class." 

            We started today with Free Write Friday and you had to write a poem. A lot of people wrote about things that they love. You could make your poem any size. Then if you wanted to share, you could.

            Next, Mrs. Morrow read us “ Love That Dog”. We learned about how Jack started to like poems more. Another thing is that he was worried that a poet that wrote a famous poem would get mad if he read Jack’s poem.

            After that, we added some words into our dictionary page in the back of our poetry folder. The words were: simile, metaphor, alliteration, assonance, onomatopeaia, and rhyming couplet. Then we had to write a rhyming couplet for our, “Poem For The Day”. A rhyming couplet is a 2 line or more rhyming poem. To help you write the poem, you could use different websites or apps on the iPad.

           Lastly, Mrs. Morrow read us the book, “ I Knew You Could”. It is a book similar to the book “ The Little Engine That Could”. I thought it was a pretty encouraging, but some had different opinions about it.

 Once the bell went off I hurried to mod2 that was when we are doing are poems and we were talking about what is a simile and what is a metaphor and we made a poem of one of the things like “ A dream is a fairy tale ” and thought of words that describe fairy tale and we read some of the book Love that dog and we were talking about that he is changing his poems to sound more like a poem.

        The familiar sound of the chiming bell blurted out. I raced down the hall, out the door, and outside to Mod 2. When I got into Mod 2, I went to my table and sat down. Mrs.Morrow passed out the latest poem book we are reading, Love That Dog. After Mrs. Morrow read us about ten pages, we talked about and then finished our “Found Poems” that we started yesterday.

        Then Mrs.Morrow showed us a video on youtube about similes and metaphors because that is what we were learning about for our lesson today. After we watched the video, we discussed the differences between similes and metaphors.

       

       Finally, after giving some examples, we got a worksheet that has the start of a simile or a metaphor and we have to finish it with something unique. Before I knew it, the ringing of the bell noisily sounded and I was off to my 3rd period class.
