Part II: (W.4.5, L.4.1f, and L.4.2b)
Directions: Below is the first draft of a paragraph about what inspired Jack to write poetry. To help the author revise and edit the piece:■ Underscore any sentence fragments. ■ Bold run-on sentences. ■ Correctly punctuate all quotations from poems.
Jack’s poems show us that he was inspired by the poetry he read in class. For example, after reading “The Red Wheelbarrow,” by William Carlos Williams, Jack wrote a poem about a blue car that began with the line “so much depends”. This is the same first line as “The Red Wheelbarrow.” Another example is Jack’s “blue car poem with tiger sounds. The first two lines of Jack’s poem are “Blue car, blue car shining bright in the darkness of the night.” This is just like the poem “The Tiger” by William Blake that Jack read in class both have lines that end in rhyming words. Also, Walter Dean Meyers. After reading Walter Dean Meyers’s poem “Love That Boy,” Jack wrote a similar poem about his dog. Meyers’s poem begins with the lines “Love that boy, like a rabbit loves to run.” Jack’s poem begins with “Love that dog, like a bird loves to fly.” Jack was clearly inspired by the poems he read in Miss Stretchberry’s class.
