What Do You Call A Rhyming Riddle? A Hinky Pinky!

The book I chose to do this project on is a book I recently bought at the Scholastic warehouse. The title is What Do You Call a Rhyming Riddle? A Hinky Pinky! This is a book written by a fifth grade class in Columbus, Ohio. I really want to share this book with my class because my school is becoming an Expeditionary Learning Elementary. This is a form of project-based learning. I think this book is a great example of a publish project that students assembled, and is inspiring to get kids to think like a rhyming poet.

In the book the students write little riddles that rhyme. They teach how to create a similar riddle and even give some helpful rhyming words in the back. I would like to use this book in a poetry unit at the beginning of the year. I will read the book aloud to the students then they will create their own Hinky Pinky. They will go through the writing process, which will be taught beforehand. One important part of the process I will reinforce will be the editing stage. This is a stage most of my students like to skip or fly through. The book gives a clear definition and great example. The students and I will create an editing checklist from this book. I will write it on chart paper and hang it in my class for them to see and use. I will ask them to edit their riddle first and then give them a writing partner so they can edit together. Once we are done, we will have our own classroom book of rhyming riddles.

Standards:
3.4.7 Proofread one’s one writing as well as others using an editing checklist or list of rules.
3.3.5 Recognize that certain words and rhythmic patterns can be used in a selection to imitate sounds.
