One Line Poem (with original similes)I'm as happy as a lizard, lying on a rock in the sun. I'm as cold as a steel knife left outside on a dewy night I Like #1
I like it when you talk quietly with me, But I don't like it when you shout at me. I like it when it rains and everything smells fresh, Bit I don't like it when it pours for days and I can't go out and play. I like it when my dog is glad to see me and he runs up to say hello, But I don't like it when he jumps on me and gets my clothes dirty. I like it when I'm looking forward to something - like Christmas, But I don't like it when it's over and then I have to wait 364 days until next Christmas! - Jamal, Grade 3 Reference: For the Love of Poetry - Poetry for Every Learner by Nancy Lee Cecil - page 21 http://bit.ly/2ajXp3k The above poem scaffolded for students would appear: I like _____________________________________________________________________, But I don't like __________________________________________________________.

I'm as excited as a dancer rock 'n rolling on a Saturday night I'm as nervous as a student waiting to get exam results I'm So SmartI’m so smart, I can hop on one foot right across the playground!
I’m so smart, I can waggle my ears and nose at the same time! I’m so smart, I can say my 7 times tables standing on my head! I’m so smart I can burp the whole National Anthem! I’m so smart, I can talk underwater without stopping for three whole minutes! I’m so smart, that’s why they made me Principal of this school! Thanks to Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com” |
