Student Work Samples (Focus Student #2 - Gene)

Image shown above is Gene’s first draft of her haiku poem.

“Winter time!!!
I love the winter.
I would play outside the house.
I love playing in snow”

Image shown above is Gene’s Haiku Checklist.

Gene referred to her checklist and revised it after
conferring with peers and teacher. She used an online
thesaurus to transform the circled words “honking” and
“sleeping” to “blaring” and “dream[ing].”

*Note: writing done with a red pen are teacher’s comments, and writing done with a blue pen are student-made revisions.
 Images shown above are Gene’s peer review worksheets.
*note: Gene’s peers provided similar compliments and feedback.
Images shown above are Gene’s revised, finalized and illustrated haiku poem.

“Winter at Night
Late at night, snow falls
Cars blaring as I’m dreaming
Scunnering racket.”
