Impersonating Great Poets Using "Science Verse" by Jon Scieszka

A great way to bring poetry and parody into your language arts classroom, this lesson plan mimics famous poems based on Jon Scieszka's Science Verse. The activity not only allows the class to see examples of poem parodies, but to create their own, enabling them to practice both poetic and sentence fluency skills. All handouts and overheads are included, as well as ideas for extension.
