Teaching Ideas:
These selections beg to be read aloud. Performed in Readers' Theater format, the verse and prose lends itself to two "voices." Learners may want to examine the author's craft, repetition at beginnings of lines, rhythms, imagery etc. Some may wish to read the entire poem. End notes tell the story of the poem.
