Fifth Graders Take a Satisfying Sensory Walk--2-26-07

Today, the fifth-graders read poems using strong imagery and investigated the ways poets created vivid pictures by using sensory language. Then, they donned their jackets and hiked a bit around the school and grounds looking for objects that might inspire them to write with such fine imagery. Rocks, leaves, snow (melting), as well as markers, magnets, and other objects may turn up as the subjects of tomorrow's poems!
