This week we had our first Sharing Day. Every student selected one poem from their portfolio to read aloud. Students practiced giving specific feedback by writing down and sharing lines that they related to and complimenting their peers for their use of detailed, descriptive language.

Nothing But Night
Gabrielle R.
And now nothing but night,
a busy night, the stay up for the full moon night,
nothing to do except wait night, worst sleep night,
going to father’s house for the night,
spending time on the phone night,
having a family reunion at night, spending
time listening to music at night,
looking for fireworks with family night.

Stormy Cold Nights
Morgan S.
I like the stormy cold nights
winds blowing at the window
like waves hitting the sand
and rain hitting the ground like
falling petals
barely being able to sleep with
sounds so loud it almost sounds
similar to pebbles being thrown
and nights so cold it feels
similar to the arctic.
Nothing But Chicago

And now nothing but Chicago, the McDonald’s
Chicago, the corner store Chicago, the

money for shoes Chicago, the movie theater
Chicago, the sounds of police sirens at night
Chicago, the morning news Chicago, the
love of food Chicago
And Now Nothing But Snacks
Jacques W.
The crunchy chip snacks
The sweet dessert snacks
The moist, soft snacks
The You better not eat it in your mom’s car snacks
The all-nighter snacks
The don’t touch my snacks
The trendy snacks
The I’m about to live stream snacks
The Stop smacking in my ear snacks
The I’ve just lost my appetite I’m done snacks
The I’m about to watch a live stream snacks
The We will fight for those snacks
The slow down nobody fittin’ to take it from you snacks
The watch out for me while I get this bread snacks
