Color Poems
By nanz

I reinforce similes during my poetry unit. I have my class imagine what they would say to a blind friend who wanted to know what a certain color was like. The poems are four lines, one for each sense other than sight, and must contain a simile. For example:
Blue feels like the ocean breeze cooling my skin on a warm day
Blue sounds like ice clinking in the bottom of my glass
Blue smells like the sky after a rain
Blue tastes like snow in a snowball fight
OR
Red feels as hot as the noon day sun
Red smells as fragrant as a rose in bloom
Red tastes as spicy as Mom's | |
homemade chili
Red sounds as alarming as sirens in the night
My students enjoy the creativity of this project and the final results make a beautiful bulletin board display.
