TAR: Unit Plan Opener on Shel Silverstein

[Mike and Nicole <mikenics@OPTONLINE.NET>]

Hi everyone~
I am preparing a unit on Shel Silverstein and his poetry for 4th graders.
We are going to start with an intro to poetry, a biography of Shel's life
with a webquest, read and listen to his poetry and then students will write
their own for an anthology.
Does anyone have any great opening activities either on Silverstein or
Poetry to kick off the unit?  (unique and crazy ideas are encouraged!) I am
a student teacher librarian and this is my "first big" unit project.  I will
post a list when finished.
Thank you!
Cheers!
