Summary

Let’s take a classic Christmas poem and remix it to work with another holiday!

  1. Students note patterns in *A Visit From St. Nicholas*.
  2. Students look for moments when the poet deviates from his rhythm.
  3. Students choose a holiday and brainstorm vocabulary for that holiday.
  4. Students break those words and phrases down into their stressed and unstressed syllables.
  5. Finally, they rewrite at least one stanza from the original poem to fit their holiday.
