Cornucopia Calligram (Shape Poem): A Harvesttime Creative Writing Art Project
Class experience
US Grade 2 - 5
English language arts can seem like a heavy list of standards, grammar rules and correct spelling, and for this reason, I want to lighten things up and remind learners that it can also be quite fun. This class puts the "art" back into English language arts, and helps learners tap into their creativity while learning poetic writing techniques.

Learners will experience the process of creating a calligram or shape poem. Learners will explore words and their own experiences of the season of Autumn or harvesttime. Learners will be coached in brainstorming, planning, and completing a project. Learners will hear about the significance of the cornucopia, an ancient symbol of abundance and nourishment. Learners will be introduced to, or reminded of, poetic writing techniques such as imagery and figurative language. Learners will be supported through the creative writing of their own calligrams. Learners will have the opportunity to share their creative work.
My love for creative writing began at an early age, as I started composing my own poems and stories. As I grew, I learned to rely on language arts skills as the building blocks of a happy career as a freelance writer for over 20 years. For three of those years, I also worked full-time as an associate editor, which helped me gain real-world expertise in the nuances of English language arts. I am walking the language arts journey with my three children while homeschooling them, as well as with several other online students in various grades. I hope to not only teach, but also inspire and encourage learners to love English language arts as much as I have. I look forward to connecting with you through this class!
