Trying Out Spine Poetry

We're in the middle of a poetry study in seventh grade language arts. We've pulled several mentor texts to learn from over the last two weeks, and have a few more to enjoy in the next two. Today, to celebrate being back together after three days in homerooms for PARCC testing, we created some spine poetry for fun. We shared each photo on our class Twitter account, @SagesHoots, but I thought I'd share them here too. (We also used the hashtag #spinepoetry.) Also, if you want to try this out in your classroom, here are a few tips from Travis Jonker that got us started.
