Still experimenting with generative practices I took in "Alphabet" by Lisa Fishman. The students really enjoyed this one and they knew right away where we were going for the day. I challenged them to write Abecedarian poems and take the alphabet as far as they could. Some of the students also used this method to write acrostics. These are some of the pieces they put together.

Kite flying in the park
In the hot burning sun
Making a loop-te-loop with my kite
Burning in the heat
Entertaining myself, lonely and hot
Requesting and wishing I had ice cream
Looking at the sky I see the day has ended.
Yanking and wondering will I come tomorrow.

Flowers
by Destiny D.
Apples are red
Blossoms are white
Colorful colors
Destined to be bright
Every
Flower is pretty forever they stand
Growing in large fields and
High lands.
I adore them
Just the way they are
Kind of like the way people like people for who they are.
Lillies are white and many colors too
My favorite color is aqua and blue.
Nothing can stop me from liking flowers
Open your heart and you’ll see my colors.
Probably you might not listen when I
Question as you stare but
Remember without flowers your life is bare.
So listen
To your life and your dreams you will
Understand just wait and see.
Violets are pretty even when the
Wind blows them.
X-cited as I am.
You might not like flowers and colors but you might like animals so try going to the
Zoo. I’m pretty sure you’ll like it too.
Alphabet
by Jamilah Z.
Apples are red rubies are too
Blue is a beautiful color as
Cats are too. Guess what?
Dogs are my favorite as
Eagles are not. Skinny is my type but
Fat isn’t. I think I’ll go lay on the
Grass in my backyard. It
Hails outside it looks so cold as
Icicles do too.
Jamilah is my name as Zayas is my last.
Killing is a bad thing for everyone to learn.
LOL means laugh out loud
Marie is my middle name and I have a
Nintendo Wii.
Outside feels cold I should go inside
Puppy Labradors are so adorable
Quiet they’re sleeping.
R you excited? Let’s go
Skateboard.
Tinkerbell is a girl as
Underdog is a movie
Very quiet they’re still sleeping
Wait, I’m not done.
X-rays are cool looking.
Yippy I’m going to sleep.
Zzzzzz
Peace and War
by Allen B.
Peace
East to West
Across half the world we know
Came good not
Evil
At the other side
Came not good, but hate and evil.
Death and fright
Was the only thing people saw
And to this day
Rage and hate still lives on.

ABC poem
by Isabel P.
After night
Blossoms rise
Children come out and play
Dogs and cats are put away
Every parent is put in bed
Friends but just like family
Girls and boys don’t get along
He never listens he never plays
Imagine the day he plays
Just think of it as a dream
Kites flying in the sky
Lots of love is what he needs
Moms need to just listen
Never sees never plays
Openers they will have to use
Parents waiting for their son. . .
My Cousin
by Dievies R.
After allergic reactions itching starts to happen
but people feel bad that my cousin is in the bed.
Crying was from family and some from friends.
Dead with no heartbeat, pale and still.
Everybody comes and goes it’s just the way it flows.
For years and years we loved you but we have to let you go.
I guess so.

together like
Homer

need milk.
