Poets wrote a diamante poem about a cherished object or place.  Then, they wrote a second diamante poem about a person associated with the object or place.  Using the words of their poems, students designed a colorful word cloud.

Sixth Grade Common Chinese Shih Poems About Nature

A common Chinese poem or “Shih" poem is four lines.  Each line has five to seven syllables.

• The first line contains the initial phrase about a natural subject.
• The second line is a continuation of that subject.
• The third line turns from this subject and begins a new one
• The fourth line is the poet’s thoughts (or advice) on the subjects.

Ms. Tucker and I worked together on a QR code project that involved having students write, share, and film book talks about Award Nominees/Winners.  After the students filmed the book talks using iPads, we transferred the files and uploaded them to Google Drive.  Once the movie is in Google Drive, we were able to create a QR code based on the URL. The QR code can be taped to the back of the book or displayed on the book’s shelf. When it is scanned with an iPad or phone, the viewer can watch an engaging video book talk.  You'll find the QR codes and books in the LFP Library

Sixth grade students worked with their teacher and Mr. Kleyn to create book trailers that would entice readers to check out one of their favorite books. Students used iMovie to add images, sounds, music, and special effects.  If you're looking for a great, new book to read, watch these creative book trailers.
