Three-Sentence Overview of this Lesson:
Small children often use fantasy in their everyday lives, where inanimate objects can come to life. In this lesson, the young writer is asked to think of a favorite toy or stuffed animal in their possession that could come to life. The students will listen to or read the poetry of two 19th century poets, and then create their own poems modeled on the premise of an inanimate object's experience.
