We've been spending the last few weeks experiencing poetry as readers. It can be very challenging trying to make sense of poetry. I've found that putting myself into a poet's shoes has helped me try to understand what they are trying to say with a poem. Option one involves you putting on your poet's glasses and examining the world around you. By now I'm sure you have put your scientist glasses on to make observations.
Now, it's time to try looking at the world a little differently. Below is an image of a Scientist Eyes vs Poet Eyes graphic organizer. On the scientist sides, you'll notice that these are things anybody would notice and observe. On the poet eyes side, item have been describe a little differently.....a little poetically.
To receive full points on this assignment create your own Scientist Eyes vs. Poet Eyes table. FIND AT LEAST TEN ITEMS in your house, backyard, or simply the world around you, and complete the table.
Be sure to include AT LEAST TWO TO THREE descriptions for EACH ITEM in EACH COLUMN. Each description in the scientist column should be reflected in the poet column. For example: The blanket is white (Scientist)/ The blanket is the color of freshly fallen snow (Poet).
