Poetry Friday round-up is with Carol at Beyond Literacy Link.
I’ve challenged my students to write a list poem this week. Before Friday was even here, Madison had taken the bait and wrote a list about the famous Fibonacci series. Madison has an unique style of writing poetry. She capitalizes all the words. I once asked her why she did that, and she told me because they are all important. Who can argue with that!?
