Hi there, Division 10!  I hope you are all doing well.  It was nice to see you all yesterday at our class meeting.  Today you will be working on a new kind of poetry called “expand a word” as well as our weekly number worksheet and yoga (if you have time).  Don’t forget to send me your totem pole art and math if you haven’t already.  Have a great day!  

1) Expand a Word Poetry: this is a five lined poem.  Each line asks you to do something different:

First line:  name of item/thing

Second line: describe and rename the item/thing

Third line: Where the item/thing can be found

Fourth line: What you can do with the item/thing

Fifth line: How you feel about the item/thing

Here are two examples that Ms. Watt created:

***YOUR WORD TO EXPAND IS CEDAR ***

Use the rough draft to create your expand a word poem for the word “Cedar”.  Make sure to check for proper spelling, punctuation, and sentence sense.

Once you have checked over your rough draft, use the good copy below as the one to email to me when you are done.  Thank you!

Have a great day, Division 10!
