I love this! What a fun way to chronicle the day, by keeping track of verbs. Glad things slowed a little in the last line-- phew!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever use of verbs! It made me feel exhausted just reading all of your actions during the day. Thank goodness you had time at the end of the day to relax.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this too! The action are visual and fast - hmmm...could be an interesting inference activity?! (What am I doing?) This would be a great mentor text for students to try - the short, precise verbs.
ReplyDeleteA great poem!
This is wonderful. So glad that Michelle pinned it! I may have my freshmen try this activity and use your poem as a mentor text. Do you mind?
ReplyDeleteWhat a witty way with words! You captured a busy day filled with many emotions. Amazing what you did just with verbs.
