This is a great formula poem for any student, but especially for students that seem to have trouble finding words when they write. Make sure you walk students through the poem while they are filling it out. Once the sloppy copy is checked, then encourage BEST HANDWRITING on the final copy. These look great in the hallway outside of your classroom. You can also post on your class website.
Word Choice:
My adjectives are excellent and thoughtful.
I use a good balance of action and linking verbs.
My nouns are precise; I don’t overuse pronouns.
It is clear that I am not afraid to take risks with new words.
I used a few color and texture words to describe.
