¡Si yo estuviera a cargo del mundo! Explorando la poesía del tipo "¿Qué pasaría si…?"

In this readers' and writers' workshop, we will read and appreciate the poem "If I were in charge of the world" by Judith Viorst. Then we will each try our hand at writing our own poem imagining an alternate reality born of our imaginations. My teaching style is organized but casual, with a lot of interaction. I will explain and model skills, then have learners work on their own and workshop their products. They will do this by sharing their writing ideas and respectfully appreciating one another's work. The only tools necessary are pen, paper, and brain.
