REEP Poetry Sketchbooks

At our school, we have initiated a REEP (now known as Eagle Time) class into our curriculum. The REEP program is designed to provide additional support in English for each student based on their abilities.

In the fourth quarter of last year, our theme for English support was poetry and my class we kept sketchbooks documenting our work all quarter long.

We started by reinforcing poetic devices and designed a page for each poetic device covered in class with an illustration. After we had laid out the ground work for the quarter, we began exploring different forms of poetry and experimented in our sketchbooks.

I am so proud of my students and how these all came out - I could probably posted each page from every single student's sketchbook. However, so as not to overload this post I made a few selections of some of my favorite pages from student's sketchbooks.

First we made a page to list out the Poetic Devices we were exploring in class.

Here are some of the individual device pages, including an example of the device and definition.

And here are a few of the poem pages students wrote !
