LANGUAGE ARTS

Poetry

• A variety of poetry forms can be used to express facts, feelings and emotions on animals, animal issues and the human-animal bond.  Limericks, haiku, cinquins and free verse are explored. 

Animal Adjectives

• You may have heard of a serpentine river that meanders like a snake, or an elephantine item that’s big as an elephant, but there are many other adjectives based on animals.  Students will expand their vocabularies by applying strategies to identify words then use them in sentences.

Animals & Adjectives

• By using adjectives students will describe an image that other students must draw. Subsequently, students will draw an image from another student's description, gaining an appreciation for how description evokes
  imagery.

  consideration for animal welfare is dicusssed.
