Poetry Unit: Tongue Twister Poem Editing and Publishing

  • Re-read the Tongue Twister poems you wrote earlier this week and decide which one(s) 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!
