2. DO Now:
Take out your poem and put it in clear view—I will be checking to see if you have it
As I check, ensure each student reads his/her poem out loud. The person reading will have a stuffed animal at their desk. At this stage in the writing process, I encourage positive feedback only.
By the time I am finished checking your poems, your group needs to elect one person to read his or her poem aloud to the class. If the person you select does not want to read aloud, he or she can ask another person or me to read it instead.
