What Does Wednesday Feel Like?

Does a Saturday Morning Feel Like a Wednesday afternoon? The answer is absolutely not, and we had a lively discussion about why this week! We read Fransico Alarcon’s On Monday’s I Feel Like A Dragon, a poem where he uses personification and metaphor to illustrate how his emotions change throughout the day. We talked about how we could use similes and metaphors to talk about our own emotions. Lazy sloths, excited cheetahs, sleepy bears, angry volcanos were some of the imaginative comparisons students  came up with during our discussion. Then they got to work on their own poems about how they feel on different days of the week, or even times of the day. I really enjoyed reading these poems, and hope you do too. Congrats to this week’s published poets!
