Notes on “The Road Not Taken”

Younger learners got acquainted with poetry through the Dr Seuss’ iPad apps,  which show the verse and the illustrations, allowing the children to click on the images and listen to the corresponding word.

Drafting our first poems.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, that will do!

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs-

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers-

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the lights-

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say good-night!

Loads of ideas about how to use poetry in the classroom.
