Shape+Poetry

__ SHAPE (or CONCRETE): __ Shape poems are made up of words that have been placed in such a way that they make the shape of an object and also use words to describe the object. __

Making your own shape poem __ *Start by making a simple outline of the shape or object ( an animal, a football, a fruit etc.) large enough to fill a piece of paper.
 * Then brainstorm a minimum of ten words and phrases that describe the shape, you could list action and feeling words too.
 * Next, place a piece of paper over the shape and decide where your words are going to be placed so that they outline your shape but also fit well together.
 * Separate words and phrases with commas.
