On Friday, we read Mirror Mirror A Book of Reverso Poems by Marylin Singer and my students were in awe. The way she could write a poem and flip the words upside down and create a new poem seemed magical. I shared one I created (see tomorrow's post) and the process I went through to create it through a think-aloud for our mini lesson. Several students challenged themselves to try it out. Their results AMAZED me!
Dazzling Shoes
by Mariela Torres-Steele and Tess Moore
Tiny feet.
Dainty steps.
Dazzling shoes.
Unattractive stepfamily.
An attractive girl
wearing attractive shoes.
Goodbye, wretched rags.
Goodbye, wretched rags,
wearing attractive shoes
an attractive girl,
unattractive stepfamily.
Dazzling shoes.
Dainty steps.
Tiny feet.
Magic
by Caroline Oster
Went to the ball,
dancing with the prince.
Twelve o'clock,
pumpkin coach,
fairy godmother.
mean stepfamily.
One broke
glass slipper.
Glass slipper
one broke.
Mean stepfamily,
fairy godmother,
pumpkin coach,
twelve o'clock,
dancing with the prince,
went to the ball!
