Now we're going to go back to the right part
to see if we can put this
together as a rhyme
like every spring
I have my students write a rhyme about spring.
then that would become a Mother's Day card
So I have them write a rhyme like this
Similar to this
And they can add more
So
The sky turned blue.
The sky turning blue
The grass turned green.
The grass turning green
The flowers have bloomed.
The flowers blooming
Spring has arrived.
Spring has arrived.
Right
Sometimes we will add more
The sun is rising.
The sun is out.
We also sometimes will add
The bird sang.
The bird is chirping.
So whatever they can put together
but has to end with a L
So that it automatically rhymes
Right
So
The sky turned blue.
The grass turned green.
The flowers have bloomed.
You can add
The bird sang.
The sun has risen.
Spring has arrived.
Right
Or you can move "Spring Has Come" to the top
set a broader perspective on the spring
You can say
Spring has arrived.
The sky turned blue.
The grass turned green.
The flowers have bloomed.
The bird is chirping.
A bird sang.
Right
The sun has risen.
The sun is out.
And if you'd like to turn this into a Mother's Day card
You just say
Mother's Day
It's coming up soon.
Mother's Day is coming
Right
Or you can say
