6th Grade Clerihew Poems

Today the students started the Poetry Unit. The unit begins with writing funny Clerihew poems. We practiced writing two in class. The Cherihew poems are made of four lines. The first line is always the name of the subject. The first two lines rhyme, and the last two lines rhyme.

Here are the examples from class:

Mrs. Mesker
Is an active listener
She's like a comedy
Creates a musical melody.

Lady Gaga
Goes rah, rah, rah
Her clothes are unique
One dress even had meat!
