This week we began by looking at "The Spoon" by Charles Simic and then discussing simile and metaphor, both new concepts to the students. We did some examples together using a fork. Then I pulled out The Deep and we looked at pictures of creatures from the sea. I encouraged the students to do their best using similes and metaphors. They picked up on it pretty quick and here is what they came up with.
Ms. Jaurigue
The Red Jellyfish
by Karina B.
It is as red as fire
while flames are coming out.
It has grown
just like a red flower.
It can swim like a fish.
It stings
just like an
electric shock.
It is ready to swim
to the light
be happy and
free.
The Blue Jellyfish
by Raul D.
The blue jellyfish
like a Blue Jay
swimming in the sea
with his sea friends.
The blue jellyfish
like a blue sponge
wandering the sea
if you touch it it will sting you.
The Blue Down Deep
by Alex B.
It stings
it could turn to a ring.
I could feel my hand go through it
but I need a first aid kit.
It can't stop swirling
neither more.
I like the jellyfish's color blue
just very cool.
Mr. Stasiak

Bianca P.

The Fish
by Allen B.
That strange creature
Red as a rose
so strange and mysterious
It has feathers like a bird
It's a bright red cup in the sea
or maybe the tip of an airplane
the little strings sticking out look like arms
grabbing food.
If I could name it it will be "Redcup."
Ms. Mays

The Jellyfish
Carmen S.
A Jellyfish is
like a leaf in looks
like a circle, it
looks like a lot of
stuff.
It looks like

jellyfish wants to
move.
It's colorful
it looks blue
like the sky
and like the
ocean, it glows
like the night
like the starts
of the night.
The Fish
by Maria G.
The blue fish
looks like two
love ducks in
the pond.
They are together
so they can cuddly
up. For ever.

Today I presented some Issa poems to the students and we discussed anthropomorphism and how it can bring us closer to animals. Here is what they came up with in response.
Ms. Mays
The American Eagle
by Kimberly S.
There up in the sky is an eagle.
It’s soaring over the building.
It looks like it’s looking for something.
Eagle I ask what are you looking for.
Just at that moment up pops a worm.
The eagle comes down like a strike of lightning.
The eagle takes the worm and takes it up to her nest.
And with that single worm she feeds her chicks.
Right after they were done eating
they smiled and chirped.
That turtle
by Daisy M.
That turtle
walking slow
waiting in line
to get some food.
The Fox
by Jorge S.
That fox--
looking here, looking there. Did you
lose something?

dark. Waiting for the sun to
come up.
Keep on waiting, howling fox.
The sun will not come up for
another 3 hours.
Cheetah

The Dog’s Missing Bone
by Isabel P.
The dog looking for his bone
but the only thing he finds is a
purple stone. The purple stone
reminds him of his bone. The dog
searching for his bone but the only

Mr. Stasiak
That Turtle

your other family?

And put in a ship, every time there was a
breezy wind, would sail on the ocean
exactly where we wanted which is shoppingland.
In this way storms and other dangerous
weather like snow wouldn’t be able to
harm us. And I wish that, since we all
were of one mind, we’d go on wanting
more and more to be together as best friends.
And I wish that Ariel and Yahaira too,
All five of us would go on a shopping
spree and buy shoes, clothes, cosmetics,
jewelry, and perfume.
And I wish that we all did nothing but
talk about us being best friends and shopping
And I wish that they were just as glad
to be there
As I believe the five of us would be.

started raining literally. Man the jawbreakers

the pirates we hit the main sail!
Aah. . . The pirates were wounded but
boarded the ship. I can’t believe there going to make

Davin, I wish that you and Jorge and I
were carried off by magic to an obstacle course so we could
race with my nissan 350 with turbo 2 against Devin, Jorge
Raul De la Cruz, Raphael.
I’m ready to race so is everybody else we each went through the
loop of fire, and then we went through the ramp of flame, where flames
come flying to the sky and then we had to drive under
the strings of fire then jump over the tank of water filled with water
and sharks.
The Magic Land
by Miriam
I wish that Jasmine, Husana and I
were carried out by magic to
a mystical land called the shimmery waters.
It will be filled with clear blue water.
It will be the most peaceful and sweet place.
In the land nothing can hurt us
The land will be filled with candy and big oceans
Everything will be made of candy.
It will be the most beautiful place ever
It will be sweet and pretty forever
We’ll all just sit there and talk
we’ll be best friends forever.

Bob, I wish that you and Cain and I
were carried off by magic. . . .
In a boat made of cotton candy, and candy
canes with gum filled cannons, “Aye ye
pirates are coming” said first mate Bob, sailing
on the ocean, chocolate. Then a hail of jawbreakers
started raining literally. Man the jawbreakers
fill it with powder. Aye captain fire on
the pirates we hit the main sail!
Aah. . . The pirates were wounded but
boarded the ship. I can’t believe there going to make
us walk our own plank. Easy with the
candy Ahh!! We fall into the depths.
Wake up on the famous gum drop island
and we disappear on an uncharted island.
