Love that Dog! Discussion Question #1

Post your response to the following discussion question:

Jack says, "If that is a poem about the red wheelbarrow and the white chickens then any words can be a poem. You've just got to make short lines." Do you agree?

Post Guidelines:
1.) Answer the question
2.) Give detailed support.
3.) Extend your answer by discussing other poems you've read, give an example that clarifies your opinion, make a text-to-self, text-to-text, or text-to world connection.

Teacher's Note: We finally had a chance to discuss this assignment and student ideas on Friday. You should be ready to post. Remember to PROOFREAD for errors. Posts from now till the end of the school year will be given both a content & mechanics (language and spelling) grade.

Student Responses Due: Monday, March 6.

It looks like everyone so far has some interesting and different points of view. I like how students are bringing in their own experiences and really thinking about what they are writing. Perhaps we will extend our understanding of poetry as we read our novel and other poems.
