Welcome back from winter break!

Welcome back!

To start things off today we'll read these two poems by Mary Oliver.


Then, we're going to write about winter break. You'll each brainstorm a list of specific words from your break - the more specific, the better. For example, instead of just saying "food," you might say "Colossal fish sandwich from Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh." Here are some other examples of general terms you can not use:

  • fun
  • family
  • friends
  • sleep
  • travel
  • relaxing
  • exciting
You'll create a list of 10 terms and write them on a piece of paper. I'll explain the rest of the activity from there...
