Fact v. Opinion Activity

Good evening sixth graders. Below, I have posted links to two activities on fact versus opinion. One is a multiple choice quiz while the other includes some questions and a video you watch to pick out statements that are either facts and opinions. Please try to work through at both. Have fun!

In The Poet's Shoes: A WebQuest

Hello seventh grade students! Today in class you were introduced to your latest assignment--a poetry WebQuest. Together, we went over your task as well as the eight steps you will need to take to complete the quest and produce a well done finished presentation. I have posted a link to the WebQuest site below.

IN THE POET'S SHOES

Things to Remember

1. Use only the resources provided for you on the website.

2. Do not forget to fill out your Thinking About Poetry Notes to record the proper bibliographic information.

3. Use the Thinking About Poetry Questions to help you read and interpret the poems you read and complete your chart.

4. Once you choose your favorite poem (the one you will perform), use the Presentation Links to help you prepare for your presentation.

5. Before you begin, review the instructions.

A Sentence as a Poem: Photos and Story

Enjoy transforming these pictures we discussed in class today into descriptive sentences, and then into poems. Remember that each picture has a possible story behind it. Consider that as you construct your sentence and poem. Also, don't forget that your poem may not include words that are not already in your sentence. Feel free to use William Carlos Williams' The Red Wheelbarrow as a model, it is posted below. Have fun and I look forward to hearing your work.
