This week the 3rd Graders took a look at Someone Puts a Pineapple Together, by Wallace Stevens. We inspected an actual pineapple to try and figure out how Stevens got such wild images out of a fruit. Have you ever looked at cloud and seen something else in it? It’s just like that! And then I asked the students to get ready to write their own images, to tell us what they envisioned within a mystery object. I pulled it out of my bag and it was… a purple cabbage! Cut in half for optimal viewing, of course.

A tree to the night
A purple brain of a zombie
A ghost in the night
A purple bone from the ground
A purple bush in the wind and its
blowing in the night
A purple fire place
A purple leaf all alone in the dark
A bouncy purple ball bouncing in the night

Purple Cabbage
Kya E.
It is a purple tree with bones
It is a head with very curly hair
It is a turtle with a purple shell
It is a purple brain
It is a planet from outerspace
It is a cockroach a giant one
It is a purple cocoa puff with a bug in it
It is a ghost in a tree
It is a zebra with purple stripes

The purple cabbage is a brain
