The Book of Questions @ Moos Elementary

Today, I started off my residency at Moos Elementary with The Book of Questions by Pablo Neruda. We read some of his poems and talked about the types of lines and stanzas he uses, how imaginative and childlike his questions are, and how he paired unlikely things together. Then, we generated lists of words that we can use to make interesting combinations to form our own question poems!
