Activity #1
(You do)

Typing your poetry

• W6.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience
• W6.6 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of three pages in a single sitting.

Directions:

• Open a Microsoft word document
• Type the title of your poem
• Type the stanza's of your poem
• Use return/enter to insert line breaks
• Type "By (Your Name)" at the end of your poem.
• Use the tools in word to select the font, font size,  spacing, and alignment.
• Make sure your poem can fit on one page. See a teacher if you can't make it fit
• Leave room for an illustration
• Get your poem checked by a teacher prior to printing

When you finish print two copies of your poem. One goes to me, and you keep one for the poetry reading. 

You will then need to illustrate your poem that you gave to me. I will be using these to put in the anthology of poetry. Use colored pencils or crayons. ****NO MARKERS!!!****

Optional: If you want you can think of a design for the cover of our book of Poetry. Create a preliminary design on a piece of scrap paper. Then create a final copy on card stock paper. See me to get the card stock. We will be voting on the best design to put on the front cover and the back cover.

*You must put the words "Anthology of Poetry 2018" on the cover. Include your "Block #"
