The students did an excellent job planning out their spooky poems, writing a rough draft on a template, editing with a teacher, and then publishing it as a podcast. Enjoy~

Kelsi was very BRAVE to share her Diamante poetry on spiders.
A diamante is a style of poetry in which each line is a different part of speech (Nouns, verbs, adjectives) and a certain number of words on each line (7 lines). Listen carefully to see if you can figure out the pattern. media type="file" key="Kelsi's diamante.mp3" width="240" height="20" = = = = =Halloween Poetry =
