Here's a great idea to help your students get started writing a funny dinosaur poem.
First of all, think of a funny situation that you'd like to see a dinosaur in (like a dinosaur eating lunch and finding bugs in his food, a dinosaur who can't dance, or a dinosaur who's afraid of the dark).
Next, make a list of some words that you might use in your poem (for example, centipede, beetle, spider, bugs, lunch, munch, drink, think). If you're aiming for a rhyming poem, try to get some pairs of rhyming words that relate to your subject.
Then think of a great name for your dinosaur (like Bob, Sue, or Big Tee) and what type of dinosaur you want to write about.
Now it's time to start writing the poem. Think of the actions or thoughts your dinosaur would be doing or thinking, and describe them in short, descriptive sentences or phrases.
Begin with a clear introductory sentence. If your poem is to rhyme, then end this sentence with a word that has a rhyme (like lunch and punch). Then write the second sentence, having it end with a rhyming word.
Keep going until you've told a little story or described a funny scene.
Last but not least, give your masterpiece a title.
