Here is an example of proficient writing:
The first poem, Roger The Dog, is about a dog who is very lazy and won't get up. He uses all of his strength to eat food, so this dog is not the healthy type.
The second poem, The Falling Star, is about a boy who spots a shooting star falling through the sky and explains that it is priceless, memorable, and to be forever gone out of his life.
I think that the winner is the poem, The Falling Star. The reason I chose this poem is because it has great imagery, like when the woman stated,"Blinding the north as it went by". Another reason I chose this poem is the author uses the rhyme scheme: AA BB CC. This makes the poem fun to read and gives it a rhythm.
The first poem is about a man who is a poser and a basketball player. He is about to strike the ball but no one is going for him.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem is about an eagle about to take flight above the ocean.
I think the winner is Casey At Bat because I really liked that it was long so I could understand it a little better. I really thought was kind of cool that he could get away with being a poser because he can't really play baseball at all. I also really like to watch baseball. I think that Casey At Bat should win.
Sorry meant to say baseball player in the first line...

Deleteit is ok
DeleteI forgot because I was typing so fast!!!

DeleteI think Casey at Bat is about a baseball game. Both of the teams have not scored yet. There is people on 2nd and 3rd. It is Casey's turn to bat. The ump said strike 1, the strike 2, then strike 3 your out.
DeleteI think The Eagle is about an eagle that is flying above the ocean looking for fish. Then the eagle saw a fish and went to get it.
I choose Casey at bat for the winner. Because I thought it had a lot of detail and it was a great story. I also made a prediction while I was reading I thought that Casey would hit it.
The first poem Casey at bat I think is about a baseball game and there are two people on base and the other team is winning by 2. Then casey goes up to bat and gets struck out and gets very disapointed.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem The Eagle I think is about what a eagle does in its life. Also I think someone is watching the eagle and telling about it.
I think casey at bat is the better poem because I like how it is a long story. Also it is very funny once yo see the movie. That is why I like casey at bat more.
I love it. Nice detail. You made the right decision by choosing Casey At Bat.
DeleteI like Casey At Bat because the story has an unexpected ending and it is very meaningful. It teaches people a lesson EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy The Eagle. It describes how the eagle and it's smooth flying motion.It tells you the motion of him attacking it's prey. I think it is exquisite.
I favor Casey At Bat. I like how the unexpected ending plays a huge role in the poem. It expresses a lot of emotions. It is a very good poem. You learn a huge lesson from the book about life and that is EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

DeleteI think the poem the Eagle is about a very wise eagle that is always looking over people and is like the king of wilderness.it also kindof means he is soposed to scare everyone.
ReplyDeleteI also think the poem Casey at the bat is about a man named Casey who all the women , men and children think is amazing at baseball but he wants to show off so he tries to get the perfect hit and he strikes out ! I guess he is not so great after all.
I choose Casey at the bat because everyone assumes he will win the game for them but he strikes out instead. I also think it has a lot of humor and it also happens in life a lot so it makes sense.
Thumbs up!
DeleteThe first story, the falling star is about an Eagle who is lonely

DeleteI think Casey at Bat wins because it is really interesting.
ReplyDelete1) In the poem Casey at Bat it is about a guy named Casey who the audience thinks is really cool but is surprised when he strikes out.
ReplyDelete2) The Eagle is about a eagle who is very neat and flies really fast.
Opinion) I chose The eagle for this round because I think it has more meaning than Casey at bat. I also chose it because I like the rhyme scheme pattern (AAABBB). And my last reason for choosing it is because it is easier to understand than Casey at bat because it dosent has hard words like, vengeance. This is why I like The Eagle over Casey at bat.
The first poem, Casey at Bat, is about a poser who makes everyone think he is great at baseball but when it is time for him to bat, he is too busy showing off instead of actually hitting the ball.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, The Eagle, is about an eagle who first takes flight into the air above the ocean.
I chose The Eagle because of the detailed story and the alliterations. For example, Close to sun in "lonely lands." I also like the simile, like a thunderbolt he falls. I think I can relate because there is a first time for everything in life.
everything is awesome:)
DeleteThe first poem I read was Casey at the Bat. It's about a baseball player who is really confident that he will make a home run. He lets the first ball go he lets the second one go, but he isn't going to let the third one go. He swings and misses. everyone is disappointed.

My favorite is Caesy at Bat because it is a very interesting topic to write about. I also like the moral of the story which is to not be so confident in yourself because when you actually run into a real problem it is especially harder for yourself.
The first poem was, The Eagle, and it is about and eagle diving down to find his prey. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem was, Casey at the bat, and it was about a man named Casey and all the girls came to see him play baseball and he was the best. So he had TWO strikes and if he got one more he would be out, so he missed the ball and he cried for ever. I loved the way they did the AA BB CC and so on worked.Another reason I loved Casey at the bat was the meaning. The meaning was how he thought he was the best and the was so good he could wait for the last ball, but when he thought he was so good that he missed.
I choose Casey at the bat because it had more meaning and had a great lesson it, and I also liked that it was longer so it could tell more to the story and a lot more reason that it was so good.That is why I choose Casey at he bat.

Casey swings the bat everyone hats comes off, STRIKE 3 your out. Casey is sobbing, Casey is trying to hit the ball but the ball is running for it life.That is why like Case at the Bat.
The first poem, Casey at Bat, is about a crowd with high expectations and a man that never fails, but in the end it shows that not everyone is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, The Eagle is about a soaring bird and it's actions.

The first poem, Casey at Bat, is about a baseball game with a huge crowd that all came to see Casey, a very good baseball player. Casey's team was losing but there was a man on third and second base and Casey was batting. He struck out twice carelessly but on the third time he swung very hard but struck out. It was a sad day for Mudville. The second poem is The Eagle, it is about an eagle and what it does. The rhyme scheme is interesting because it is aaa,bbb. I think the winner is The Eagle because Casey at bat goes all the way to z in lettering, I think it goes on to long. Another reason I chose The Eagle is because instead of two rhyme scheme it is aaa,bbb, three rhyme schemes in a row. The only thing I don't like about the poem is there is no similes or metaphors. Overall I liked both poems.
