Summary: |
|
| Three poems are presented graphically with four color-coded bars to represent four voices for choral reading. The rhythms of the poems progress from easy to more difficult. The author provides a section on "How to read this book" and "Helpful hints." | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| What an enjoyable way to introduce the rhythms of poetry! The last poem is filled with color, sounds, and figures of speech to explore and imitate. Students might want to try to write their own 4-voice poem. Pair with Fleishman's 2-voice poem, Joyful Noise. www.people.virginia.edu/~fed3t/fleischman.html; www.eduplace.com/kids/hmr/mtai/fleishman.html | |
