How do you feel about coming back to school? This is a set of poems with a point/counterpoint theme. In one poem, the speaker is enthusiastic about returning; in the other poem, the speaker is hoping for an extended summer vacation. This would be great to use to start a conversation about different points of view. I want to start out with poetry from the first day!
For more poems, look at my Poetry Unit: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Poetry-Unit-for-Poetic-Structure-Speaker-and-Rhyme-Scheme
Emily,
