Diamante Poems

We have our first true assignment of the year. Students will be writing Diamante poems about the characters in Bridge to Terabithia. Diamante poems use single words to describe a noun. The form takes on the shape of a diamond. Each student received a sheet with instructions about what to include on the lines. We will then be taking their poems and transferring them into a final copy. The worksheets are due on Friday. Students may work on these at home or during class time when they are finished with other work. Books may be used to help complete the poem.
