Summary: |
These poems that celebrate the insect world were written to be read aloud by two voices, sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Beginning readers or ESL students may enjoy performing these poems as a fluency activity. Parents and children can perform the poems in family literacy settings. In either event, teachers should read the poems to and with learners several times so that student performances will not cause embarrassment. Individual poems can be excerpted for use in science. Many poems are full of interesting, powerful verbs; students might enjoy speculating about the poet's rationale for their choice. Line and stanza decisions, as well as decisions about how and where to create the two "parts," may also provoke discussion or writing. Students might enjoy trying to develop a "poem for two voices" out of another favorite poem. |
