Diamante Character Poem
A Diamante Poem follows a very specific format – there are seven lines, and each line
must have a specific number and type of words. When you're finished, the poem will be
in the shape of a diamond! Your job will be to create two poems on two characters from
your Read Across the World book. Look at the format and example below, and then try
writing your own diamante poem. When you’re done, please type the poems.
