During this activity they re-read a chapter of the novel and cut out the rubble. They used the descriptive words to retell what happened in the story in poetic form.
The students will share their poems tomorrow. This will help them to understand what has happened in the story so far.
Before breakfast
Runt of the litter
Small and weaker
Won’t amount to anything
Do away with it
Please don’t kill it
It’s unfair
Control myself!
Life and death
Tears streaming
Injustice
Took hold of the axe
Stop
All right
He is yours
Saved from untimely death
By Jed
Wilbur
Fern loved Wilbur
Stroke, feed and put to bed
Warm bottle of milk
Adoring eyes
Afternoon bus stop
Ran to the kitchen
Never happier
Wilbur loved milk
Finished last drop
Grunt
Fast asleep
By Lyka and Boranay
Escape
Wonderful
Peaceful
Pleasantly warm
She came every day
Quiet and friendly
One afternoon
2 months old
Fern not coming
Go down to the orchard
Run, run, run
Down the hill
What a commotion
By Nikor & Vattanak
Loneliness
Steady rain
Bored and gloomy
One day, just like another
No real friend
Want love
Someone to play with
Friendless, dejected,
Sobbing, not hungry
Darkness and shadows
Small voice
“I’ll be a friend to you”
By Sal and Lei Jun
Summer days
Summer days
Happy and fair
Calm interlude
Desperately cramped
Grey-green goose feathers
Bowing shamefully
By Kanika
Wilbur’s boast
Spiders web
Strong and delicate
Not easily broken
Must rebuild
Awfully hairy legs
For a good reason
Legs of mine
with seven sections
I could spin if i tried
You catch me, I’ll spin one
Deep breath
Climb higher
Attach spinnerets
and jump into space
Let out the dragline
Landed with a thump
By Teppi and Lukas
An Explosion
She sat motionless
Naturally patient
Shade of his face
Wide awake
Gazing affectionately
Falling asleep
Crown of daisies
A mile a minute
Wind whistling
Zoom upward into the sky
Weaving
An open space
Spider still at work
By Panha
The miracle
Dripping wet
Magic carpet
Silver forest
Foggy mornings
A thing of beauty
Thin, light pattern of love
Mystery and beauty
Carefully built
Center of the web
Block letters
SOME PIG
Begin to tremble
Unusual pig
A miracle
Clear, no mistakes
Delightful trick
Wonderful
Friends, the animals
By Shelby, Jayco & SeoYeon
Fairgrounds
Dust of the race track
Hamburgers frying
Enormous voice calling for attention
Balloons and soda pop
Wonderful music
Excitement and adventure
No parent to guard them
Happy and free
Wilbur unloaded
Pig in the next pen
Bigger and older
More time to grow
People admiring
Silky white coat
curly tail and
Radiant expression
Judges deciding tomorrow
Stretch out and sleep
By Tommy
