3. Grab the two sharing sheets next to the clipboard, please!
I’m going to send these poems up to Mrs. Hayes to get copied so we can use them after lunch!
Big Word for the Week = DICTION! (Big Word for Next Week = MEMOIR)
Organization
1. Get papers back.
2. Do a folder log-in.
3. Select ONE poem to trade with a partner (the one you want most closely read and commented on).

After You Share Both Poems
1. Staple the Peer Conference sheet on top of the poem, then put it in your folder.
