Poetry Imagery Lesson


I sit here on a Saturday looking at the plans for the upcoming week.  There is so much to do, and so little time!
We are going to begin our fraction study on Wednesday and I can't wait!  We will finish our reader's theaters on Island of the Blue Dolphins and Sign of the Beaver.  Students are writing a conversation between characters and will read them aloud Thursday night for their parents.  We are also working on bring a couple of Shel Silverstein's poems to life for Thursday.

I did create a poetry imagery lesson that uses the reading strategy Making Connections, to improve comprehension.  I want students to read and visualize the poem.  Then work on what the poem means to them by connecting what they read to themselves, their life, another book, or the world.
