Students read Mike Taylor’s poem, ‘Thinking About You,’ and experimented with rhyming, exploring their daydreams and creating similes.
Lesson Note: “I learned that the only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you’ll finish it, even if in the beginning you think you can’t do it at all.”– Langston Hughes

Untitled
By Austin H.
Today during school,
I was so bored
And I couldn’t stop thinking about
My phone, I couldn’t wait to get home
And play games on my phone
My phone is shiny like the lights
I can’t stop thinking about playing
My video games
My phone is as cool as a pair of
Stylish sunglasses.
I can’t get video games out of my head
My phone is as hot as the sun
Whenever I play on it
For way too long.
Rotisserie chicken
By Zhe Han G.
Rotisserie chicken
whom I’m thinking of
in the day at school or home
I had wondered
would you be
a stainless steel non-stick fry pan
flat like a twelve-millimeter tempered glass
Well, I’m in class right now…
and I’m kind of thinking about you…
like sigmas think about mewing,
and rizzlers think about rizzmaxxing,
and skibidis think about cameramen
I’m thinking about you

Something on My Mind, Something Sweet
By Jacky T.
Something on my mind?
Something sweet like candy
Maybe a Twix or a Snicker
Craving something good to eat
What’s on my mind?
Something sweet on a stick,
Like a lollipop or cotton candy
I savor the taste of this candy
Thinking About Food!!!
By Yongyi J.
I’m thinking about food like ice cream
Thinks about melting, and cones think about holding.
I’m thinking about food like McDonald’s fries
Think about salt and burgers think about grilling.
I’m thinking about food like boba tea
Thinks about sugar and straws; think about sipping.
I’m thinking about food like fried chicken
Think about crunch and wings. Think about flavor.
Every bite, a delightful dream,
Food on my mind, like a tasty theme.
