I used sentence strips in a pocket chart to model the poem with the students.

(Sorry, I did not take a photo.)

I also had a few pre-made word cards for the adjectives and nouns.

I modeled the poem using the pre-made word cards.  Then the students provided their own ideas written on post-it notes.  The post-it notes allowed for ease of repeated student interaction.  

(You could easily transfer this group lesson to a small group station activity.)

Grab the watercolors and paper plates!

Students cut out a "v" at the top and bottom of the paper plate.

Students paint their watercolor designs.

Allow to dry and add the body.

Fun, quick, and beautiful!

Here's a look at the poem we added to our poetry notebooks this week!
