Summary
Let’s take a classic Christmas poem and remix it to work with another holiday!
- Students note patterns in A Visit From St. Nicholas.
- Students look for moments when the poet deviates from his rhythm.
- Students choose a holiday and brainstorm vocabulary for that holiday.
- Students break those words and phrases down into their stressed and unstressed syllables.
- Finally, they rewrite at least one stanza from the original poem to fit their holiday.
