  2. Characteristics of Genre • What is it? It is the attribute of a personal nature of character to inanimate objects or abstract notions. • Why do people write it? They write it to bring life and character to inanimate objects. • Text features of the genre. There are really no text features because this genre can be applied to any form of poetry.

  6. RexBy: Lindsey Chamberlain Playing is my favorite past time Running is what I do best If you don’t throw the ball I can be quite a pest. You see I am not just a dog who loves to play. I also like to rest.

  7. The Tree By: Andy Hively Most people think its boring to be a tree I can’t run  I can’t fly I sure can’t talk But if you ask me There is nothing better than to be a tree Families use me for shade Squirrels climb all over me Birds live in my branches So as you can see It’s very important to be a tree

  8. A Snowflake’s ConfessionBy: Julia I hate being cold How did I get this profession? I hate being cold that is my little confession. “I hate being cold” I think as I float down. “I hate being cold” I think as I land on the ground. Well, maybe it’s not so bad People run out to see me. Maybe it’s not so bad How else would people sled or ski? Maybe it’s not so bad I help make a winter wonderland. Maybe it’s not so bad I make the world look grand.

  9. Lesson Plan • Choose A word from List A and then write it by List B • Then expand your words into a sentence • Write on one subject, or describe other objects in nature. • Select favorite lines to put together in a poem • You may need to drop the “s” on the end of the verbs.

  10. Example • Night, it reminds me of yesterday. The sun listens to the messages of the clouds. Moon, look for me on the field. Sea, guide me to you Dawn, bring me to the new day
