2	Snowy Adventures at Nubs Nob Snowy Adventure at Nubs Nob Difficult yet enjoyable lessons clarify how to be a speed demon Supportive instructors coach newcomers on the beginner hills Exited, novice visitors descend while eating snow Snowy Adventure at Nubs Nob The aged ski lift carries a myriad of snow lovers to their destination Among the trees, talented skiers dart like chipmunks Silent skis dash downhill by gravity’s force Snowy Adventure at Nubs Nob Insolent snowboarders attempt tricks but sometimes falter In the distance, expensive snowboards leave their riders behind Other guests gossip of the toppled imbeciles Snowy Adventure at Nubs Nob Mists of snow fly into the frigid air behind skilled skiers Firm boundary poles mark the clear path down steep slopes Unfashionable, colossal goggles protect eyes from irritating ice Snowy Adventure at Nubs Nob Curving around towering trees, the challenging Foo-Foo Lane causes risktakers to drop like acorns in winter Racing to the rescue are the swift snowmobilers At the bottom, the heated lodge waits to soothe those who turn cold on the Michigan slopes
3	Whole Group Process Show painting and ask students to observe. Then ask students to name the nouns in the painting, list these nouns on chart. This large chart is identical to the graphic organizer that each student will use individually. This organizer can be done many ways, electronically in Word or the old fashioned way, pencil and paper. List two adjectives for each noun. Choose one verb for each noun that is appropriate, list the “s” version and the “ing” version of the verb. Students must have a knowledge of prepositional phrases PP. Use the prepositional phrase list to help complete prewriting organizer. ONE ONLY RULE You may not repeat nouns, adjectives, verbs or prepositions.

6	The Rough Draft Using the completed graphic organizer compose each line of the poem. Explain that the words can be rearranged and do not have to be in the order they are on the chart, words may also be added to make a complete thought. When finished this will be the rough draft, which later can go through conferencing, revising and editing stages. *In the best of all worlds, technology should be used throughout the writing process (prewriting through final publishing). When this is not possible, the tools in Word can be used at any stage of the process. For example, in the prewriting chart a student may want to use the Word Thesaurus for weak adjectives and/or verbs.
