The Colour Poem Global Twitter Project #3 (Week 2): ORANGE poems with Grade 3

We have joined the Colour poem Global project started by Linda Yollis  http://goo.gl/YtbFkg.  The Grade 3s did Orange Poems today as this is the Orange week. What I love about Global projects like these is that the students also enjoy them and participate fully. They love looking at the Twitter hashtag to see what other learners from other countries have written.

Skills learned
We used PowerPoint and we learned the following skills:

• After creating the poem, centring the words to make it look like a poem 
• Using Google Images to find many orange images 
• Formatting the background and selecting a matching colour
• Keeping to a diamond shape and using nouns, adjectives and adverbs

Creating the poem
We decided to do a diamond-shaped 9-lined poem all related to the orange pictures they had selected,  with the format of:
One word
Two words
Three words
Four words
Five words
Four words
Three words
