Lindsay Blanton - 1st grade class
The class noticings chart Mrs. Bagwell's first grade created when we began our poetry unit. Mrs. Bagwell and I planned a poetry unit of study for the first time. We found many resources in the literacy room at our school and online. We started by giving the students reading immersion time and introducing them to poetry and pointing out characteristics. This lead to a class noticings chart for poetry.
Poetry Noticings Chart:
- funny, humor
- rhyming words (different words rhyme in the poem)
- titles
- sentences are written differently from other stories (lines of poetry, stanzas)
- words are repeated (repetition)
- words can be in bold print in the poem
- in the shape of an object (shape/concrete poems)
- use onomatopoeia (sound words)
- can ask a question like a riddle or to leave you thinking
- about any subject
- some are short, some are longer
- use alliteration
- the words and lines are written in lots of ways on the page
- punctuation is used
Noticings Chart for Poetry Amber Pitts' First Grade Class
We have been reading a lot of great poetry books! I tried one of Katie Wood Ray's suggestions and when I introduced poetry I just let them choose a book with a partner and mark something cool that they noticed with a sticky note. This is the chart we made based on what they noticed with a partner.
