The sixth grade students are starting new reading and writing units this week. They are studying a variety of poetry techniques and practicing their skills while writing creative poems. During this writing unit, they will create drafts of six poems and pick their three favorite poems to take to the final draft stage. Be sure to ask your child to see the draft of his or her first poem. The first poem was created using words that students found to be either beautiful or ugly sounding. For example, many students found words like sapphire and glisten to be beautiful sounding and the words yolk and curdled to be ugly sounding.
