Student Writer Instructions:
Today you will be creating rough drafts for two poems. The word game below will help you by providing different types of toys in different settings. Use the word game for ideas or picture in your mind a favorite toy.
Imagine leaving that toy somewhere for an unspecified length of time. What could the toy tell you when you find it of its’ unintended adventure? The word game also provides different settings in which your poem could take place.
Review Stevenson’s poem and take note of how he listed some of the things his toy soldier may have seen. Taking your setting into consideration, list some of the things one might see in that setting. Also notice how Stevenson addresses the toy soldier’s senses to recall the adventure the toy soldier has experienced. You may use the attached graphic organizer to help you arrange each stanza of your poem.
