Stage of writing: Drafting GPS: ELA5W4 The student consistently uses

a writing process to develop, revise, and evaluate writing. The student

a. Plans and drafts independently and resourcefully.

PLO: The students will create a Limerick poem.


Limerick

Uses both rhyme and rhythm. Rhyme pattern: A,A,B,B,A Consist of five lines; 1st, 2nd, 5th lines

rhyme and 3rd and 4th rhyme with each other and are shorter than the other three.

The last line often contains a funny or surprising ending.


Drafting

Drafting is messy. Main focus is getting your thoughts down

and content of your writing on paper. Do not worry about grammar and spelling

mistakes.
