The Bronx Zoo Safari Poetry Contest

This week we will discuss this exciting contest. We are going to tie this into our Nonfiction unit by discussing how research and facts are necessary at times to write poetry. Hopefully we will hone our research skills, strengthen our poetic sides, and advocate the conservation of animals all at the same time!

Please feel free to brainstorm and discuss possible topics that would fit into one of the four contest categories:

Nature's Wonders and Surprises
Endangered Animals
Living with Nature
Predators and Prey
