For our fourth sessions at Swift, 2nd graders discussed comparisons. Many students already understood that when comparing two things, we look for how those things are similar. We looked at poems written by students, who had compared things like anger to a thunderstorm, and black ink to midnight. We discussed different ways to compare things, such as by their size, color, shape, texture, feeling, or idea. When it was time to brainstorm our own ideas, we realized how much effort it sometimes takes to become awake to comparisons, and create something new💦!
