Title - Color Poems
By - Ryla Pollan
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Grade Level - 3-8
Students write COLOR POEMS based on color poems from Hailstones and Halibut Bones by Mary O'Neill.
MATERIALS: a copy of Mary O'Neill's Hailstones and Halibut Bones
METHOD:
1. Read each of the color poems in Hailstones and Halibut Bones.
2. After each poem, discuss the author's use of imagery, personification, unique expressions, the senses the author uses to write about the color, etc. depending on age / ability of students.
3. Then have each student select a color, maybe their favorite color, or the color of their favorite poem from the book, or a color that wasn't included in the book.
4. Give each student a copy of the pattern below for writing their own poem. You can easily add lines to make the poem more complex - or change or take out lines to make it simpler - depending on your students.
5. After writing their first draft, have students go through the editing process, make changes and improvements, until they have a final complete copy of their poem.
6. Then students can type their poems, choosing a font, and print it on colored paper, or use color ink and print on white paper, or make a creative display/background for their poem. They make a beautiful spring display for bulletin boards. Students could also combine the poems to make their own color poetry book and then illustrate it.
