I used the color poem writing lesson with my third grade summer school students today. For part of our prewriting activities we categorized and read the cool names on paint chip samples. I've been collecting them for a while now and have quite a box full. Each student chose their favorite color names or colors and added them to their writing notebooks to use later in their own color poem. Here is our class collaborative poem and some pictures.
Orange
We are wearing OSU orange basketball shirts-
smelling the scent of umber colored, bouncing basketballs-
eating golden cheese nachos and drinking mango flavored Gatorade from the concession stand-
listening to thousands of reddish orange noisemakers-
feeling the wave of orange excitement in the crowd.

Has anyone else written color poems you'd like to post here? Remember, we'll be sharing them with our writing groups in July!
