| LOVE. Mixed media collage by me :) |
Happy Valentine's Day Friends,
On Sunday mornings, I get a weekly post from Teachers-pay-teachers with all kinds of goodies for educators. There are featured lesson materials to purchase and several free items that I peruse for ideas. Sometimes, the ideas are for my teaching...sometimes, the ideas are for writing.
Last week, I snagged a Poetry Parody, a free lesson, offered by Secondary Sarah. It fit the bill for some easy and silly writing this week. Secondary Sarah took Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, which begins famously, Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? and turned it into a mad-lib type activity for parody re-writes.

Here's my re-write of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18.
In the card game of cribbage, a nineteen hand means that the player has zero points.
Ha, ha, I know that you've been having lots of snow, so love "Rough snows do shake bouquets of valentine roses,". It's a fun idea for a re-make for this wacky 21st century, Linda. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHah! Eternal summer shall not rollerblade. Thanks for the laugh this week (sorely needed)! LOVE your collage, BTW.
