Just recently came across a student who was working on

I am Poetry..

All Grades .. I have created a database where you can upload your poetry. Any poems submitted will be sent for the National Project.  You can access the Filemakerpro server from any computer within the school.

 

You can also post your poetry to the school moodle. Use Destiny to get to the moodle from home. http:destiny.pinellas.k12.fl.us  

and then find our school.

    Third Grade …. I know you are working on poetry right now.

      I have already started this project with my Digi Star groups – 1st – 5th.  But would love to send in at least one poem from every single Oldsmar Student Owl.   My dead line is FEB. 26th, 2010.  There is no limit on the number of submissions from each school.

·       All poetry is encouraged but this year HAIKU is the featured poetry form this year.  All poems must be no more than 80 words in length.

·       Overall quality of the poem is based on:

o  Creativity

o  Age-appropriate language

o  Sensory /figurative images

o  Structure

o  Poetic techniques
