Reading Projects - Who is Reading What

This is a Mind Map on the projects you are reading. We need to check the titles, rewrite the introductions and start drawing your own Mind Maps. Yes, I need some new photos too.

A Little Rhyme

We have seen that in literature there are different genres where creators find their way of expressing feelings or ideas.
Fables, short stories, novels, fairy tales.
We tried writing some poems on Monday.

The formats came from this link http://ettcweb.lr.k12.nj.us/forms/newpoem.htm

And poems can also turn into songs, and as we have a gifted musician we want to share the following:
(This is the latest version)

Once upon a time
I caught a little rhyme
I set it in the brightest light
but it
flew out of my sight
I chased it all over the bar
but it
wasn´t very smart
I scooped it round the ice
but
got lost through my eyes
I caught it in a song
but it
seemed to be all wrong
# I followed it round the world
but it
turned into a curl
When I fed it with a spoon
it became
a blue lagoon

# I followed it round the world
but it
turned into a curl
When I fed it with a spoon
it became a blue lagoon
Then it grew into a kite
and flew far out of sight...
