Writing Fix: Color Personification Poems

In this lesson, Hailstones and Halibut Bones, a book written by Mary O'Neill and Red Sings, and From Treetops: a Year in Colors, a book by Joyce Sidman, are used as mentor texts. Students will brainstorm to collect different adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and prepositional phrases of one color that would personify this color. The color will have been chosen during the art lesson link included on the site. Then students will assimilate their words and place them into the context of a poem. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
