Our ballad so far
"Honors I" by the Class of 2011
Middle school is over,
we have moved to South Lenoir.
Our bookbags are packed full,
what will our teachers have in store? (Mrs. McI)
This school is so big,
it is like a maze.
Is this what a fish feels like?
As if he's in a haze? (Matt)
I hope I don't get lost
and that I survive the school's lunch.
Oh No! My bookbag fell on me,
and I heard my back go crunch. (Regan)
At first I was afraid,
now everything's a blast.
I am beginning to have fun,
now that the first day has passed. (Lexi)

Add a line of poetry game...
Okay - the rules are:
Use an abcb rhyme scheme. This means that the poem will be set up in 4 line stanzas (paragraphs) and lines 2 and 4 will rhyme and lines 1 and 3 can not rhyme. I'll start the first stanza (so we can see what abcb rhyme scheme looks like) and then you can each add one line. Let's see what we can do!
"Honors 9"
by the Class of 2011
Middle school is over,
we have moved to South Lenoir.
Our bookbags are packed full,
what do our teachers have in store?
As you can see, lines 2 and 4 rhyme with "Lenoir" and "store". Lines 1 and 3 do not rhyme, with "over" and "full". Who wants to start a new stanza? Go for it. Be creative, quirky, smart; this is just for fun! Let's see what we can do!

Who loves poetry???
Okay folks,
Now it is time to get creative! We will be starting our poetry unit this week. Do any of you have any ideas on how we might best use this blog during our unit? I was thinking maybe we could share some of our poetry or start a line of poetry and then each add our own line w/ a certain set rhyme scheme. What are your thoughts?
