Ode to the BambooSnakeFishFly--Part 2

Today we read Pablo Neruda's "The Turtle" and spoke about Odes. We enjoyed Neruda's poem of praise. And, though we liked the turtle, the students became creators of their own new animals. The students then wrote their own odes to their fabulous new creations.

Take a look!

Ms. Kennedy's class: 5th grade

Ode to the Snakeatertafishjumper
Eric M.



















Oh how you swim through the ocean, fly
through the foggy clouds, hope through the
forest and crawl in the woods. Oh why
do you eat trout, eat plants,
and why do you eat snakes. Why do
you live in the mountains, woods, and
ocean? Oh how they think you
are ugly.

Ode to the Flying Fishsnake
Carlos T.

Oh flying fishsnake how I love to go
all over the places, he eats a lot of stuff.
He flies, jumps, runs and swims. He is not a friendly animal.

Ode to the Flying Snake Butterfly
Noemi O.

Oh snakebutterly how I love when you

fly in the air and swim in the sea
when you eat chickens when to
go to a farm.

Ode to the Hopper
Kimberly A.

How I love to eat carrots, meat, worms and insects. I live
in the wild. I live in the trees and love to fly in the dark. I run
fast and fly in the bright blue sky. Ode to the hopper
tiger bat bird that likes to run and hop fast.
