Start-Up Activity
Share some of your favorite photos with students. Ask them to describe what they see. Tell them why each photo means so much to you.
Then point out how a poem is like a photo. It captures a moment in time. It lets the writer share something special with the reader.
Tell your students that in this chapter, they will capture little snapshots of life in the form of short poems.
