We took a walk in the woods and then asked the students to collect vocabulary (using their 5 senses + imagination) and create a poem about spring. [|Here is the assignment], with a video intro by Garrison Keillor (we used a portion of this) and a narration by Susan Sarandon.


 * Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening **


 * Whose woods these are I think I know. **
 * His house is in the village though; **
 * He will not see me stopping here **
 * To watch his woods fill up with snow. **


 * My little horse must think it queer **
 * To stop without a farmhouse near **
 * Between the woods and frozen lake **
 * The darkest evening of the year. **


 * He gives his harness bells a shake **
 * To ask if there is some mistake. **
 * The only other sound’s the sweep **
 * Of easy wind and downy flake. **


 * The woods are lovely, dark and deep. **
 * But I have promises to keep, **
 * And miles to go before I sleep, **
 * And miles to go before I sleep. **
