information about Veterans that you may have.
Also take out a blank piece of paper because we are going to brainstorm
together to get our minds going about words for our poem. 10 minutes
Today we are going to use our previous research and knowledge to write a
poem describing Veterans.
Here is the outline for our poem. The first line is Veteran. The person or
subject we are describing. The second line is going to have four words
describing what a Veteran has done and is expected to do. These words
can be adjectives or words like protecting, etc

Have students write biographical poems about a Veteran by completing
each of the following lines of the poem.
Line 1: Veteran

expected to do (teachers can specify that the words be adjectives, gerunds,
etc.)
Line 3: Who feels . . .

If you finish your poem and still have more time, you can decorate the
paper
We will share our poems next week and they will be on display for parent
teacher conferences.
See how easy it can be to write a poem geared towards one subject? As we
keep practicing describing different subjects you can become better
writers with practice and it will become easier for us to avoid the jailhouse
words and boring writing.
If you did not get time to decorate the border of your paper,
Wrap up 5 minutes.
