In reading the book, I Will Make Miracles by Susie Morgenstern, we discussed the character's positive attitude. When looking at Ms. Papoff's poem about erasing AIDS in Africa we discussed the positive attitude.
She writes...
ERASE DISASTER
war, corruption, sickness, LIES
MAKE MIRACLES
trade shoes
walk in
HER FOOTSTEPS
HIS FOOTSTEPS
(try that on
for size!)
Then we discovered a new term..."Masking" a poem. When you mask a poem, you use tracing paper to write a poem in the opposite attitude of the original poem. You keep the same idea in mind when writing but you change the attitude. Ms. Papoff's poem, when masked takes on a very negative feeling...CREATE DISASTER
ERASE miracles
Let sickness
SOAR
DESTROY
HOPE
DESTROY
LIFE
Masking a Poem...Revealing the opposite attitude and emotion...
Keep this in mind as we begin to REALLY dive into this unit!
