To learn a bit about the writing process, our class began by watching a documentary of Terry Fox. As we viewed, we recorded our ideas of things Terry needed, wanted, loved, shared, and felt as well as character traits he demonstrated using post-it notes. Once we finished the documentary, we worked in groups to write a draft of a biopoem about Terry Fox. Next, we shared our drafts with the class and selected the lines and descriptive words we liked the best from each version shared. We combined them to create a class poem, made up of the best words of the group drafts. Even then, we still read the poem over to make many improvements. We took some words out that we found redundant, and we switched the words around in a few sentences that didn't flow well. Then, we added a picture, changed the font, and centered the text. Here is our final product:
