Preposition Poem

Today and tomorrow we will be working on preposition poems in class. Today, students will read some examples of preposition poems, brainstorm for their own poem, and write their rough draft. Tomorrow, students will edit/revise the poem and write a final draft. If students don't turn in the final draft in class on Tuesday, they must turn it in on Thursday, 11/16/17 at the beginning of class.

Here are the complete Preposition Poem Directions.

Prepositions

Today we worked on a preposition memory cue today in class. The purpose is for students to be able to quickly recognize frequently used prepositions in sentences. The students viewed an example memory cue in class, and they were tasked with coming up with their own idea.

Preposition Memory Cue

Draw a picture that is based around one main object. Draw other items around the main object with prepositions that show their position in relation to the main object. Remember my "Fishy Prepositions" example using a shark as my main object and sea animals positioned around him. You must include at least 25 prepositions. Memory Cue due for a grade on Thursday, 11/9/17. 

Tomorrow, we will take notes on a preposition note taker and complete some practice. If you lose your note taker, you can print it out from here.
