This poem is a couplet tag between two students. One write the first line, then the other needs to write a rhyming line to follow. They then write the third line and the first writer has to finish the rhyming couplet. They continue each writing two lines until the poem is finished.
Christmas Gift
Excited for toys, presents, and Christmas movies
Perhaps opening presents, like a ring with rubies
Staying home with no more work to do
Except for making cookies for you
While some people rush around shopping from store to store
Children are wishing for toys more and more
Opening presents with eyes wide and bright
Decorating trees with beautiful lights
Skiing and snow-boarding is what I like to do
And taking a mid-afternoon nap or two
Drinking a hot cocoa in the afternoon
Winter is better than a hot day in June
Our Fifth Grade class really enjoyed these couplets! Thanks for sharing them. We are not sure about winter being better than June, but you've given us something to think about, and we like that.
