Project Gallery July 24:

**Poetry**
1. ACROSTIC POEM: Write a word (for example, your name) down the left side of a page. Start each line with a letter from that word.

2. ANAGRAM: Write your whole name. Mix up the letters. How many different words can you make? Use these words to write a poem about yourself.

3. CUT UP: Take a newspaper or magazine article and cut it up into lines, phrases, or words. (You can use more than one article, if you want.) Put the pieces of paper in a bag and pull them out at random.

4. RHYMING SIMON: List 5 words. Now think of a rhyme for each of them. Then use these words to create a ten-line poem.

5. SNAPSHOT: Write a poem that takes an imaginary snapshot of someone or something. Avoid common descriptions such as: "The sky was gray." Instead, describe your own way of seeing things, for example: "The sky was the color of a dirty rag."

6. DREAM WEAVER: Tell the story of a dream or use images from a dream you can remember.

7. SPY CAM: Go outside and collect words and phrases from your neighborhood: street signs, advertisements, snatches of conversations, the words from a song. Use what you collect to write a poem.

8. RECIPE: Make a recipe for something that has nothing to do with food, such as a recipe for fun. For example, "Take a heaping cup of friends, add a tablespoon of laughter and a pinch of screaming, mix well on a roller coaster..."

9. REMEMBER WHEN: Write about a memory, but pretend it happened to someone else.

10. FEELING ENTITLED: First, choose a title. It could be any word or phrase that you think sounds interesting or funny, like "My Cat Has Bad Habits" or "If My Shoes Could Talk." Then write a poem that goes with that title.
