Week 6
Reading Handouts
Rhyme:
I ran around behind him for I thought that I would see
The broken leg all bandaged up and bent back at the knee;
But I didn't see the leg at all, there wasn't any there,
So I asked him very kindly if he had it hid somewhere.
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd man.

Book Examples
Rhythm:
The rhythm in this poem is fast – to match the speed of the stick striking the fence.
The pickety fence
The pickety fence
Give it a lick it's
The pickety fence
Give it a lick it's
A clickety fence
The rhythm in this poem is slow – to match the night gently falling and the lights slowly coming on.
When the night begins to fall
And the sky begins to glow
You look up and see the tall
City of lights begin to grow –
Sound Effects:
Someone tossed a pancake,
A buttery, buttery, pancake.
Someone tossed a pancake
And flipped it up so high,
That now I see the pancake,
The buttery, buttery pancake,
Now I see that pancake
Stuck against the sky.

Big Bully Joe
by Arden Davidson
Big Bully Joe is a kid I know who’s as mean as a grizzly bear. He’s tall and he’s strong.
We just don’t get along.
There’s not one thing in common we share.
When a baby’s diaper falls off, you know Joe took out the pins. Joe likes to torture little ones that’s how he gets his grins.
When there’s gum in someone’s hair, you know it’s Joe who blew the bubble. When the teacher shouts “who did this?” you know Big Joe’s in big trouble.
When a food does not agree with Joe he argues till he wins.
He likes to fight.
He also likes to kick dogs in their shins.
He calls out horrid names
to kids just doing their own thing. If he saw an injured bird,
he’d likely break it’s other wing.
Big Bully Joe is a kid I know
who doesn’t have one single friend.
But I heard Kelly Mayer put a tack on his chair.
Guess he’ll pay for it all in the end!

CARMEN
Secret Ballot
by Andrea Cheng
School’s almost out.
We have to spend the money somehow.
We put suggestions
5 on the board: Pizza party. Roller skating.
How about thinking of other people?
10 Miss D. says.
Kayla raises her hand. A present for Grams, she says.
What would Grams like?
15 I put my head down and shut my eyes and think.
A big picture of us
in front of Pleasant Hill,
20 I say.
We vote
on slips of paper called secret ballots. Pizza gets four,
25 skating gets three, and the picture wins.
