Five Senses Poetry

April is Poetry Month!
This week we’re going to create a Five Senses Poem about the Great Bear Rainforest.
Click Five Senses Poem for a description of this type of poetry.

Think about what you have learned while reading the articles over the past couple weeks about the Spirit Bear (Monthly News, Non-Fiction article), watching the videos (movie trailer) and listening to Mrs. Roberts’ read alouds.

Below are the 4 steps that you will work through on Tuesday and Thursday. I have used a different location, the beach, as an example.

Use the 5SensesGraphicOrganizer to write as many things as you can think of about the Great Bear Rainforest using your 5 senses.
At the top of the paper, write a colour that comes to mind when you think of the Great Bear Rainforest.

After writing down as many words/short phrases as you can, choose your favourite word/short phrase from each sense.
Under Touch, please include words about how the things you’re touching make you feel (in blue ink).

Next, create detailed sentences on a piece of paper or this Great Bear Rainforest Poem graphic organizer.


On Thursday, after having a parent review your work, please use the same Great Bear Rainforest Poem paper to write your detailed good copy on in your neatest printing. Please email me a copy of your work.
