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.

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 earth is so violent.
We need to stop littering
People need to stop smoking
They even need to stop second hand smoking.
Earth is what we need
We need trees
And the most important thing that we need to do is save our earth!!!

Turn off the light as you leave the room,
Don’t hurt our flowers, let them bloom,
Clean up the mess, that’s for the best,
Otherwise nothing will ever last.
If we don’t help, we won’t live long,
We will never hear any bird’s song,
So try to help, and if we work together,
We’ll make this place a lot better.
