Pam Chandler also makes time for an activity she calls the "bio-poem." In this lesson, students use a format and fill in terms that apply to themselves or another individual and construct revealing individualized poetry.

"A bio-poem is a form of poetry using a prescribed or structured format," explained Chandler. "Although it follows a 'formula,' this form still allows for creativity on the part of the writer." She gives students the following instructions:

"On each line of your poem provide only the information requested for that line. For lines 4 through 9, you should begin the line with the underlined words given; you supply the information in the parentheses. You may complete the line with single words or with phrases. Your object is to show the depth of your understanding about the character."

    Line 1-- First Name
    Line 2-- Title given to the character
    Line 3-- Four words that describe the character
    Line 4-- Lover of (three items, objects or ideas)
    Line 5-- Who believes (one idea or concept)
    Line 6-- Who wants (three things)
    Line 7-- Who uses (three things)
    Line 8-- Who gives (three things)
    Line 9-- Who says (a direct quote)
    Line 10-- Last name or synonymous descriptor

Following is an example of a bio-poem:

    Pam
    Teacher
    Strong, caring, dedicated, curious
    Lover of her children, learning, and her students
    Who believes all children can learn
    Who wants a safe world for her children, her students to love to learn, and to have more time to write
    Who uses her education, her experience, and the support of her family
    Who gives her leadership to her students, her tenderness to her children, and her love of reading to her students
    Who says, "A good book opens the door into another world."
    Chandler

To familiarize students with the bio-poem before they create one for the subject of a biography, Chandler has her students write poems for themselves. "To make it more interesting, I create a master where the center of the paper is lined text surrounded by 2 to 3 inches of blank space," she said. "Students write their bio-poems in the center area. Then they illustrate their poems around the outside of the text box. I show them how they can hide part of their drawing behind their writing. I illustrate this by using some type of full-page illustration. I cover the center with another sheet of paper so that parts of different objects are hidden behind the paper. This gives kids more of an idea of what I am asking them to do. They create some very interesting pieces this way.

"In addition to using bio-poems to represent a person from a biography, I use them with students in doing a character study," explained Chandler. "My favorite book to use for this is The Pinballs, by Betsy Byars. Kids really relate to the characters."

MORE BIO-POETRY

Heather Schacher, of Golden, British Columbia, is no stranger to the concept of the bio-poem. In fact she has her own version that she refers to as the "Getting to Know You" poem. As a new kindergarten teacher at Alexander Park Elementary School in Rocky Mountain School District #6, she hasn't had much opportunity to use this poetry-writing activity, but she holds onto it as a great example of an activity that encourages creativity and stimulates interest in both biographies and poetry.

"The Getting to Know You poem is an idea that an instructor gave in one of my language arts courses in university," recalled Schacher. "I think the poem is valuable because it makes the kids think about themselves in different ways. It makes them aware of themselves and others." Like Chandler's bio poem, this poem also has a set format.
