Twitter is a wonderful microblogging platform to connect, share, and learn with others. You can learn a lot in 140 characters! This annual #clrpoem Twitter project incorporates color, poetry, geography, social media, science, and fun!
This week, we will start this colorful global collaborative project in an interesting way. We will start with:
When you think about color/colour, some people don't think of black or white as colors/colours. In science we learn that, a black object absorbs all the visible light and reflects none of the color to our eyes. A white object reflects all light. Let's have fun with black and white. Use silhouettes (shadows)! Use a black and white filter on your ipad! Find things that are black or white!
What is Black and/or White?
The object of this collaborative project is to share original poems, create colorful digital images, and publish through classroom Twitter accounts using the hashtag #clrpoem! Each week a color of the visible spectrum, plus black and white, will be showcased!
A tip of the hat to Catherine Monaghan for this colorfully clever idea.
Consider adding your poetry to Mrs. Hembree's Global Poetry Unites Project.
ROY G BIV
One way to remember the visible spectrum is the
ROY G BIV acronym.
(red-orange-yellow-green-blue-*indigo-violet)
ac·ro·nym
(ak rÉ™ nim)
noun
- an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word
(*Indigo is the color between blue and violet. We will combine it with blue.)
Teachers, YOU are invited to join our collaborative project! The more, the merrier!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are having the Twitter Color Poem project again! It's my favorite during poetry month! I also really appreciate you sharing my poetry project in my post. I am looking forward to seeing what some of your poets create this month.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hembree
Dear Mrs. Yollis's Class,
ReplyDeleteOur first graders just wrote this poem about red.Tulips
So beautiful and red
A field of tulips
Bright and red
Near the other colors
Pointing up to the sky
From,
Mrs. Hembree
Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteOur Acers are black. The keyboard is also that color. Desks normally come in the same color as laptops do.
Snow is white. It is very fluffy and soft. Paper is the same color as walls. It can be used for drawing or writing.
Something that is both black and white is a dalmatian. It has white fur all over it and there are black spots on top of the fur.
Some elements of poetry are to never use words twice. For example, “it” is a common word that is used over again.
Do you like the colors black and white?
Love,
Keya
