Objectives

Children enjoy looking at and hearing stories about artists. They also get excited about writing all kinds of poetry. I believe this unit will strengthen the literacy and observation skills in my third grade students. The majority of my third grade students struggle with reading; getting hooked on poetry by reading small passages will establish a love for reading. In short, students will be able to see poetry and art in a new way and share what they have learned with the community, all the while posting to the blog they created to post their poems and pictures from the lessons.

William Carlos Wiliams' poem \\"The Great Figure\\"

Just a detail: This poem is not based on a painting by Demuth, the poem came first. The painting is based on the poem. See Williams Collected Poems, Volume I.
