Civil War and Poetry

This week the class was working on two different activities. In Social Studies we are studying the Civil War and they were to make a chart listing each sides advantages and disadvantages. After class discussions and group work, many of the groups realized that one side had significantly more advantages. Also this week we continued our Poetry unit and they were able to create a free verse poem. This poem was to be made up of 4 stanzas totalying 8 lines and they were to rhyme each line. Once they completed their poem, they were to illustrate them.
