Read about a new fighting technique and add to the taxonomy (more than 1 word for each letter is great!). 4. Repeat #1-3 until all readings and taxonomies are complete.

1. Return to original taxonomy and read through additional words. 2. Create a diamond poem using words from the taxonomy (see example). 3. Share diamond poems at table and select the most descriptive. 4. If time, share selected poems with class.
