I like this poem because it leads the kids through the idea of transformation in a way that seems recognizable to them: they know that winter leads to spring, that snow and rain are related, that a snowball melts if you squeeze it; and Giovanni uses those "science facts" as the structure of her imaginative link between the speaker and a flower.Dawn Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500960150846895633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540771071400993487.post-40879217566634491052016-05-03T08:04:23.228-04:002016-05-03T08:04:23.228-04:00I am curious which poem of Nikki's you used.I am curious which poem of Nikki's you used.Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540771071400993487.post-35333465425672705992016-05-03T07:43:18.682-04:002016-05-03T07:43:18.682-04:00I am going to share the poem that "your"...I am going to share the poem that "your" students wrote with mine. They love to read other children's work. We've been responding to Frost's The Pasture and wrote about I am going out to __________. I shan't be gone long, you come too. How correct you are about the urge to provide the words. <br />Can't wait to see you soon.Ruthnoreply@blogger.com
