Blog 12: Magnet Poetry

Use a creative word scramble/ magnet word website [see below] to put together your own poem! Challenge yourself to use three poetic devices, such as metaphor, imagery, etc., in its construction. This poem should be at least ten lines in length, and you should feel free to add additional words, appropriate for school writing, to the mix! Retype your finished product into a blog posting on your own blog.

Have fun creating your magnet poetry!!!! Students will be asked to share their work in Monday's class. [10 points, posted by the end of class period, 12.11.09]

The teacher tells us that this is the last day of school

everyone is really excited to go out and have their freedom

the wind whistles and the sun is shining

the teachers even look as happy as a kid in a candy store

the doors are the exit to the last day of school

when we have no homework

and have no reason to get up early in the morning.

where you can spend a whole day on the couch watching tv

and staying out as late as your parents will allow

every kid that goes to school looks forward to this day
