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 5-508 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.

Animals in the north
disapearing in the ocean
They look back but not forward.

Feeling the soft cool droplets of rain makes me feel like I’m swimming in grace.
The weather is sad and so is mother nature the rain comes down throught the streets and the parks. The rain is coming to water the plants the rain ies the life of the plants.
If we keep the world this way all from the North and South will vanish in a eerie way.
Smoke and fire all together
makes air polution bad as
ever
the rain is my joy of sadness
The future of the animals is dieing faster and faster
the death of the future
The water rising to life
Some days the sun shines in
my eyes but rain comes in and
it slowly dies.
the light of the sun heats the earth and the furture the way it goes
Global warming is coming and mother nature is counting on us to stop it!
sun is hot sun is around us with out sun we can not live on the earth.
The wind is gentle and sometimes mean you never know what kind of wind it will be. The sun bright and the moon is white. The sun is in the day and the moon is in the night they are brother and sister.
Silence is the world’s fate, keep it clean until that date.
