What is a Line Poem?
Our Line Poems will start with a line and then the poem gets passed around to another person and then another, until it is complete, or until the teacher says, "Stop."
Each person will have a chance to write for a couple of seconds and then we trade papers. To do this everyone needs to take out a sheet of loose leaf.
