Mrs. Dingman's Class Diamonte

Diamond-Shaped Poems

December 2000

    We combined Language Arts and Science requirements in this writing activity. We learned about a new form of poetry, wrote our poems about our current topic in Science, reviewed parts of speech, and continued to gain comfort using our classroom computers. We used a Thesaurus, both on the computer and in book form. Selecting synonyms this way was a lot of fun!!
