5th Grade Poetry Partners

If you are an intermediate teacher (grades 4-6) looking for a fun collaborative video conference project, try this one: "Puzzled with Poetry?" This teacher needs a partner class to connect with them on March 25 at 11AM.

The teacher who is doing this project plans to teach 4 styles of poetry using a winter theme. After teaching each style the teacher will have her students type their work, edit and turn in final copies.

Next her students will choose their favorite style of poetry and create a rubric to help identify the unique styles of each poem. Her ultimate goal is to collaborate with another class through video-conferencing.

She wants her students to teach another class the unique features of 4 different poetry styles through video-conferencing. They will end the video conference session with a round of poems to be identified with our viewers.

She is looking for a grade 5 partner class (I'm sure grades 4 or 6 would work, too).
