Writing Fix: An I Pod Inspired Poetry Lesson: Favorite Things Poetry

Using the song "My Favorite Things" from the musical, The Sound of Music, as inspiration, students will create their own song or poem (to the same tune) that lists their favorite things. Each verse will focus on their favorite things throughout a specific time during their lives (childhood, now, and in the future), noticing how their favorite things have evolved throughout the years, projecting their continued evolution into adulthood. Students will also be introduced to various types of rhyme and practice using them in their own song/poem.
