Poetry Unit: Acrostic Poem Editing and Publishing
Re-read the two Acrostic poems you wrote earlier this week and decide which one you would like to edit and publish
When you have chose, ask your parent to read your poem and help you to edit any spelling mistakes
Find a new piece of paper and re-write your poem in 'good copy' form. Make it colorful and think about adding things such as pictures, a border, big letters, writing with felt or a pen, and any other creative ideas you can think of to make your published poem look great!
I have included a copy of my published poem below for you to look at

Science Activity - 20 minutes
Science Experiment: Making Cup Phones (video below to watch)
Materials: 2 plastic or paper cups, 15 meter long piece of string, scissors or a nail
Construct your cup phones by poking a small hole in the bottom of each cup with your scissors or a nail
Thread one end of the string through the hole and tie a knot large enough that your string does not pull through it
Put the other end of the string through the hole in the other cup and tie a knot
Have another person take one cup and move far enough away from you that the string is tight but is not touching anything
Talk into the cup and then ask the other person what you said. Take turns seeing if you can hear what the other person said.
When done: Answer these questions with your parents:
How does the sound travel from one cup to another? What did you learn? Do you think it would work if the string was twice as long?
