This assignment helps your students coordinate their material into a node poem. Once complete, your students only need to integrate this material into the SpicyNodes interface.
Level: Middle School
Scissors for each student
One typed list from the “Clothing Analogies” Worksheet per student
Paste
- Instruct your students to cut out the various sections of the sheet they typed up for homework.
- Direct your students to paste the parts into the corresponding openings in the worksheet.
- Once they have all the parts pasted into the worksheet, have them create a title for their worksheet. This title can be an analogy for the word, “clothing,” or a combination of the seasons for the included piece of clothing (e.g. Fall & Spring).
- After your students title the work, the poem will be ready to input into the SpicyNodes interface.
At the center of the square: “Title”
Around the edges of the square: “Favorite Item 1,” “Favorite Item 2,” etc.
Extending from each “Favorite Item”:
- One Line for “Origin”
- Two Lines for “Covers”
- One Line for “is like”
- One Line for “is”
- One More Line
