Shape PoetryChoose a shape and write a poem about your shape. You must include words from the definition of your shape. Use the
Glossary in your math book for the definition. Some ideas for your poem: • Draw the shape’s outline a write your words around the
outside of the shape.• Use the definition to write a free verse, 5 senses, or 5 W’s
poem. (See examples on our bulletin board.)• Comparison Poem- Compare your shape to things around in
our world using similes.• Haiku• Acrostic - Spell your shape’s name going down the side.(See examples on our bulletin board.)
