You are doing fine so far. Answer those three questions I posted and then I will tell you a secret.

We posted at the same time. Ready for the secret?

Yes

Are you sitting down? (This might be a shock.)

Please tell me the secret you got me nervous

Yes please don't tell me you know me because I would kill myself

It's good.

Your teacher "borrowed" all those works from a Hollywood magazine, from a movie review.

Do the words "hunger" and games" from his list make you think of anything? How about "curly" and "stooges"?

Ooo don't worry I knew that we were supposed to take words from an article and make a poem with them

No, I don't know you, but I wish I did. :)

We had to choose 2 articles one about a world problem the other about a topic we like and I liked the hunger games movie

So why not make the poem fit the article's ideas?

So YOU picked out the movie article?

Thank you so much for you're help you sound like a nice person just that I thought you were one of my teachers or something like that

I don't know he just said not to copy the article

I was a teacher and tutor 1,000 years ago, and a librarian for most of my life.

So can we do a movie poem or not?

Yes that sounds like a good idea

Do you want the poem to rhyme? (might be hard to do, but maybe not, haven't tried anything yet).

I can't rhyme

I am going to write every specific

Something like (I underlined words from your list) --

Curly was one of the Stooges (the third one) and lived in a massive cabin in the woods,
And spent summer weekends in the markets when they opened early, and spent lots of money on foods.

And so on.

Write the basic poem with some words and then later you can fill in with more words that you haven't used yet or change things.

3-5 stanzas, 18-20 verses, parallel structure or refrain, alliteration and repetition
