A Poem about Trees

We have been working on a poem about trees as part of the Beyond Words language arts unit by the Center for Gifted Education at The College of William and Mary. Here it is:

Trees Are Like

Trees are like cities because lots of different things live in them.

Trees are like flags because they blow in the wind.

Trees are like water waving around an island because they blow in the wind.

Trees are like Mr. Slurpy at the dentist because the roots of the tree slurp up water.

Trees are like chameleons because they change colors in autumn (also known as fall).

Tress are like lungs because they breathe.

Trees are like us too because we breathe and the trees breathe.

Trees are like an air filter because they clean the air.

Trees are good for the environment.

We would not survive without them.

If the trees did not make air we would die.

Try to help the trees.

Recycle or use both sides of your paper when you are drawing.

The end.
