I would use this book of poetry with young elementary students as a way to expose them to poetry. It is a book that contains simple poems and corresponding vocabulary. They use rhyme and rhythm that is easy to follow and understand. I would ask students simple questions that relate to the structure and theme of the poem to promote their poetry knowledge.

“Just Watch“ by Myra Cohn Livingston is a poem written in a book designed to introduce elementary students to poetry. This poem is very short, but should be read with a quick rhythm. It uses simple endings such as -ing and -op as well as other vocabulary throughout the poem to help students understand the poem.

Poetry. Published 2007. This is a cute book that contains over 60 different poems from various writers. This is a great book to use for any part of the day, or even when you have 5 extra minutes to read a poem to a class.

This P read is perfect for young primary students who are just getting into the world of poems! With 60+ poems included in this text as well as an array of writers, student will get an overview and consistent look of poetry and its style!

AlexRobinson A teaching strategy to pair with this text could be LC, so students can have the opportunity to try different literacy roles and really master the comprehension of poetry, as it does differ from the more regular styles of text we gravitate to. A great resource to help navigate through LC with elementary/younger grades can be found here: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/literature-circle.... 4y

AlexRobinson UDL‘s appropriate for this lesson would be: 8.1, 9.3, and 3.2 (heighten salience of goals and objectives, develop self-assessment and reflection, and highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships). 4y

AlexRobinson EL‘s that coincide with these guidelines are: 2, 10, 23, and 29 (promote corporation in small groups, teach think, pair, and share strategies in cooperative groups, structure advance organizers consisting for new terminology that learners will encounter in the new lesson vocabulary to be reviewed, and offer a variety of reference page risks at the students‘ instructional level for independent use).

AlexRobinson As we have learned in our text that poetry may be a dying style of literature, this is a perfect book to keep it alive starting at a young age! #ucflae3414sp21 4y

Betrinag I love the looks of this book, and I love your idea for using it in a LC! I agree that students having different roles, and maybe even changing roles per each poem, will help them master poetry comprehension! Also, doing it that way won‘t seem as overwhelming as individually learning and trying to understand each part. 4y

AlexRobinson @Betrinag stressless-environment teaching is my kind of teaching!😂 I am all about trying to make my lessons and room as stressless as possible so I agree! 4y

DrSpalding Poetry can be so much fun! Based on the article I had you read in class, short/entertaining poems can foster a love of this genre in your young students. Extra effort with your universal design and English learner strategies here! 4y

This poem (Rickety Train Ride) contains a lot of onomatopoeia within the poem such as the “clickety clack“ sound of the train going over the train tracks. This poem also has a natural rhythm.
