In the spirit of Earth Day (tomorrow), 5th Graders are creating list poems on the theme of “Environmentalism” using this website. Each student will post at least one original line of poetry inspired by environmentalism, then add it as a “comment” or “reply” under this post.
Once the list starts growing, students will copy and paste their favorite lines from the list and post “REMIX” poems (make sure you write “REMIX” in your comment title).
This project demonstrates the opportunities that the Internet opens for us to collaborate, borrow and build on each other’s work to create unique voices!
Part 1 — the List Poem
Class 5-505 is writing a list poem on the theme of “The Environment”.
The lines of poetry are being collaboratively added under this blog post, creating a “List Poem”.
Part 2 — the RE-Mix
Then they are taking their favorite 5 lines and re-mixing them into new custom poems.

As I sit here in the forest on a bright brown log
I think of my favorite animal that appears to be a dog

EARTH DAY IS GOOD AND IT WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE in the word
Smoking can kill you, just don’t smoke at all, for your own good.
Global Warning is here,
All because of us people.
We smoke,
We kill,
We hunt,
All of it just for fun.
Why don’t we stop these horrible crimes
That we are doing to
Our wonderful animals and earth.
Turn off your all the electronices that you have home
you can stop letting gas in the air
you can help the earth if you do that
you also can save engry
when you cut off the light just for one minutes or two
we can show the earth we can save energy
and there is a chance if you cut of your lights everyday
there is a chance we won’t have have a flood or
we can lower the can of have a flood and we can also save
the polar bears and the penguins.
The environment is quiet, beautiful and sweet
