Pros and Cons of I Poetry
Here are our reflections on our Poetry Units:
*Do MODEL EVERYTHING – probably 10 times 
*Limit choices of topics to your available resources
*Allow for PLENTY of time
*MINICONFERENCE
*Participate in MORE shared writing as a group
*Provide SCAFFOLDS
*Thesarus/Dictionary opportunities are there – USE THEM
*Small Groups are great with modeled responsibilities
*Clearly explain the end product
*Take a deep breath – BE PATIENT

These tips are even good for the upper grades. This is very very helpful. Even the high school students have trouble using that thesaurus.
P.S. Thanks for the comment. Looking back, I think it went pretty well!
