'Juicy Words' Popplet by: Janna Lee



Here is one student's example of a popplet made during our Readers' Workshop lesson.  The students were reading poetry and finding juicy words that poets used to be very specific with their writing.

Week of November 28-Dec 2

W.A.L.T.:
  • decide "what makes a poem?"
  • respond appropriately and meaningfully to poems
  • read poems with 'white space'
  • notice 'juicy words' that a poet uses
  • write different kinds of poems (white space poems, poems about everyday objects, and color poems)
  • place value with decimals to the tenths and houndredths place
  • take care of our land snails by making sure they have water, food, and keeping their cages clean
  • observe their structures and behaviors
