Students presented "Poems for Two Voices" with partners (obviously).
We read more from Love That Dog by Sharon Creech, and students wrote one or more "inspired by poems."
Write one poem "inspired by" Walter Dean Myers "Love That Boy." It could be a "Love that ___ like a ____ loves to ____." or "Hate that ______ like a ____ hates _______." or "Eat that _______ like a _______ eats _______." Follow the format of the poem -- one stanza, seven lines. Notice the rhyme scheme, too.
Love That Boy
Love that boy,
like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
“Hey there, son!”
by Walter Dean Myers
-- Students should be looking for (or writing) a poem to present in our Poetry Slam.
