Lesson Plan:

1. Choose an image. Project or print it, so you are able to refer to it while writing.

2. Progress through each grammatical form in a separate session. After students create their sentences, they can share them with a small group or the entire class. Work to choose strong subjects and verbs.

3. Compose a poem that employs at least four sentence structures. Publish the poem with the chosen image.
