Found Poems (continued from last day)
Walk-Around Share: Share your Found Poem with at least 2 people. Ideally, choose people you wouldn't normally pair/share with. Anyone want to share aloud? (can read your own, or have someone else read your poem - however, as always, you cannot volun-tell someone; they have to volunteer to share their work) Hand in your Found Poem: either rewritten or on the page you were given last day.
