Summary / Book Talk - What happens when we ask for too much? What happens when we give too much of ourselves and don’t get enough for ourselves? She’s Silverstein’s book allows us to look into what both sides feel like, and what it means to love a place with all your heart.
Selling Tool - http://files.harpercollins.com/PDF/ActivitiesGuides/0060256656.pdf - national poetry day sheet from the publisher. Personally I would use these activities to sell kids on poetry and then introduce Shel Silverstein as a poet.
Activity - students will use the book as a basis to write a small poem about their favorite place and why it’s important to them.
Standard - CCSS W1.5 - With guidance and support from adults, focus on a topic, respond to questions and suggestions from peers, and add details to strengthen writing as needed.
Goal - students will be able to understand and use the style of the text to create their own piece of work
Objective - with guidance from the teacher students will compose an original poem about their favorite place
Outcome - students will share their poems with their peers in an attempt to better know their classmates
