Poems

We did a unit on poetry and this is what I wrote.

We read Love That Dog by Sharon Creech.

Poetry is slow catchy words. I’m not a fan of poetry. I don’t dislike poetry.

Pause #1: He can do poetry but he doesn’t like people to notice. He is okay with it on the board but he doesn’t want people to know.

Pause #2: He has a dog but doesn’t want to write about it. He writes about it but he is still anonymous.

Pause #3: He is really, really good at poetry. Every one wants to know who is writing this awesome stuff but he is still anonymous.

Pause #4: He is OK with people knowing it’s him but now there is a new person being anonymous. They play with his dog.

Pause #5: He wants his favorite author to go to school. He forgets about it thinking he will never come.

Pause #6: He learned that the computer had spell check and he learns to type. He types a sad poem.

End: He meets his favorite author. He writes to his author and writes a poem about his dog.

Jack was inspired by his favorite author Water Dean Myers but also he is inspired by his animals and other things around him.

Cheetahs

Cheetah Information

How many animals have spots? 0h, oh, I know one, a cheetah. Thud, thud, thud, look a real cheetah. Yes it is a cheetah, what you’ve never seen one, well I think I have a good description. Here it is!

How much do you know about cheetahs? Cheetah in Latin is Acinonyx Jubatus. They usually weigh 110-140 lbs and are 115-135 centimeters long. It’s a mammal! It has yellowish-brown fur, with black spots on it. Did you know that!

Things happen inside their body too. For instants it has large passages through the nose so that it can breathe. Cheetahs give birth to 1-5 babies or cubs and they’re born alive. They live in Africa and travel by foot.

            Cheetahs are all so very different. They are warm blooded and migrate. Cheetahs are carnivores and can out run any thing. They are endangered because they are often being poached. That is about every thing I know about cheetahs.

            Now you may have never seen a cheetah but at least you know something about cheetahs. Now what animal has spots? That’s right a cheetah, and look here thud, thud, thud, the cheetah gone.
