Poetry writing standards and update

Do you think you could write a Cinquain inspired by this picture?
We have not forgotten our poetry...we are walking along a different path for a few days to develop our math procedures and learn more about multiplication iin preparation for our project.

Below are the writing standards we are working towards during our poetry unit.  These are posted in our classroom and link to our 'must', 'should' and 'could' that we think about when we think about our learning.

Writing Standards for poetry

LA.4.2.1.3 Identify and explain how language choice helps to develop mood and meaning in poetry (e.g., sensory and concrete words as well as figurative language).


LA.4.3.3.3 Create precision and interest by expressing ideas vividly by using different language techniques (e.g., imagery, simile, metaphor, sensory language).


LA.4.3.3.4 Apply appropriate tools or strategies to evaluate and refine the draft (e.g., peer review, checklists, rubrics).

LA.4.3.5.2 Use elements of spacing and design to enhance the appearance of the document and add graphics where appropriate.
