Poetry Search
Take a class period to search through some of the poetry books in my classroom. When you find a poem that you really like, I'll take a picture of it. Then you will answer the following questions:
1. In one word, what is the overall theme of your poem? Love, dreams, humor, freedom, nature, play, beauty, sadness...
2. How does your poem make you feel?
3. What are your favorite words or lines?
4. Explain why you like those particular words or lines.
We will share our poems and responses with the class.

Looking at food poems by Jack Prelutsky.
Click ENTER at the Jack Prelutsky website. Read the poems about pizza, boneless chicken wings and flying hot dogs. Food sure can be inspirational. After you read the flying hot dog poem, look at it again and list all of the homophones (words that sound like other words but have a different meaning or spelling) that you can find. One example is: mustered and mustard.
