    17. Poetry Starters Students choose an emotion and a color they think symbolizes that emotion. Model: (an emotion) seems (a color) Like ( a comparison) I see I hear I smell I touch I taste

    18. Starter Model Loneliness seems golden yellow Like the hazy colors fall days bring. I see the leaves of red and orange. I hear birds announce themselves. I smell burning leaves that signal the end of something. I touch no one for I am alone I taste the salt of my tears.

    19. Rhythm I’ve Got A Dog I’ve got a dog as thin as a rail. He’s got fleas all over his tail; Every time his tail goes flop. The fleas on the bottom all hop to the top. Anonymous p.66 Prelutsky, J. (Ed.). (1983).

    28. Snow Poems Making Snowmen Making snowmen is best of all But we have to make it really tall. We’ll roll the snow all around We’ll have to roll it big and round.

    29. Figurative Language Poets use language in ways that effect our sense of touch, sight, smell, hearing, or taste. “Analogies, metaphors, and similes are excellent ways to help the brain find links…” Westhaver, A.& Wolfe, P. ( 2000). p.50

    30. Figurative Language Figurative language defines one thing in terms of another. Similes make comparisons: You are as quiet as a mouse. Billy looks like a gladiator in those clothes.

    31. Figurative Language Metaphors are stronger, more concentrated comparisons: “The cat's eyes were jewels, gleaming out of the darkness.”

    32. A Metaphor: Jealousy Jealously creeps within me A spider spinning its web Threading a trap To capture and confuse. (free verse)

    34. Metaphor: The Fog The fog comes on little cat feet It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. By Carl Sandburg

    35. Dead Metaphors A dead metaphor has been so overused that it has lost its power to surprise, delight, or effectively compare.

    36. Dead Metaphors A cliché is a dead metaphor, a phrase so often repeated that it no longer has force: He hit the nail on the head. She was cool as a cucumber. Jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.

    37. Simile My life is like A garbage truck Saturdays and Sundays off Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday They haul you away. written by a student in grade 3 Fletcher, R. (1993). p.14

    38. Simile First Snow Snow makes whiteness where it falls, The bushes look like popcorn-balls. And places where I always play, Look like somewhere else today. By Marie Louise Allen, p. 31 Prelutsky, J. (Ed.) (1983).

    39. Personification: Tree Tree Swaying in the wind I catch people’s attention I begin to wave, They never wave back to me.

    43. Science Owl The diet of the owl is not For delicate digestions. He goes out on a limb to hoot Unanswerable questions And just because he winks like men Who utter sage advice, We think him full of wisdom when He's only full of mice. by X.J. Kennedy http://readinglady.com/Poetry/Owls/owls.html

    44. Social Studies: Explorers In the year 1001 A.D. Leif set out on the sea. Even though he was a Norse, He was blown off his course. He was looking for America, But soon found Canada. ……
