Summary: |
Simon explains in the introduction that the excerpts of famous poems selected to accompany the colorful telescopic photographs of planets, stars, and meteors do not "illustrate" but provide "a different way of looking at the same thing." Captions of the photographs mention aspects of photography as well as the subject. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Excerpted selections would make excellent read alouds. The book could be used in a unit on the solar system or photography. Students could write their own poems as a response to one of the paragraphs or a more recent newspaper photo, i.e., the Mars landing.
