!!Dunk!!
Run
Jump
F-l-y
You’re souring though the air
The crowd goes wild
Screaming is all you hear
Smile for the camera
It’s right at you
The slam dunk is back
Ohhhhhhhhhh
I knew it
A Perfect 50
Slam Dunk
Into the crowd
Behind the backboard
Running to the net
Then jump
Like a bird in the sky
Catch the basketball
Under the rim
Into the net
Then…
SLAM DUNK!!!!

Author’s note
It all started out with just a notebook, a pencil and us. Mr. Murphy found a video of the Slam Dunk contest. He told us to write down stuff that we noticed and heard. After that we wrote poems about them. First we wrote poems in our notebook then we made it better on the computer. After, Mr. Murphy told us how to do prepositions. Using our poems we wrote, we made preposition poems. In the preposition poem I used a craft called a simile. The sentence was “Like a bird in the sky”.

Taylor Henschel's (with help from Bianca Charnis and Sami Procz) DUNK poem! Taylor is in Mr. Dan Smith's third grade class!!!
Behind the boundary
Upon the crowd
Stands Andre Iguodala
Ready to make his dunk
Off the backboard
Ohhhhh!
Into the net
Before he lands
The cameras flash
He shoots…
He scores
A perfect 50.
Before the gravity
pulls him away
The camera gets...
A perfect shot!!!!

DUNK! PREP POEM
In the crowd
Passed the crowd with great speed
A.I throws the ball off the behind of the backboard
Iguodala toward the basket
Grabs the ball
Underneath the back of the backboard
Just beneath his head
Through his hands
Inside the net
A perfect fifty

Author's note:
At first I listed words that I heard and then stuff I saw. Then Mr. Murphy told me to put in prepositions. They helped me to make it better. After I used prepositions I got the piece above.
In the crowd
Out of the crowd
Above the ground
A.I. passed it of the back off the backboard
Iguodala brought the ball under the backboard
Beneath the net
In front of the net
Down in the net
BAM!
SLAM DUNK!
It’s a Perfect 50!!!

Author’s Note
This piece is a follow-up on the same poem. Except in this poem, I added prepositions. We watched a clip of a dunk from this year's NBA dunk contest. The two main contestants were Andre Iguodala and Nate Robinson. We watched two of their main dunks. First, was Andre’s. Allen Iverson helped him by throwing it off the back off the backboard. Andre came from the crowd, took the ball, ducked, and threw it home cleanly through the net. We had to listen for sounds like: Ohhhhhhhh, a perfect 50 and that’s heavy etc. Then we wrote a first draft in our writer’s notebooks. Then we typed it. Then we turned it into a preposition poem. I had a lot of fun because I had never learned prepositions before!
