Louder Than a Clap of Thunder

I worked on my webpage prior to reading Module 2 Poetry Breaks and found out this one was already included there. I liked this poem so will keep it, but I found another one by the same author to complete the assignment.

Introduction:
Ask the students the following questions:
1. Have you ever been kept up all night by a family member or friend who snored?
2. Do you have any stories that you can retell about someone who snores? I have a favorite story about my oldest daughter and her grandmother who snores. I would retell this story at this time.

Extension:
Enter the website http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/poetry/jack_my_poem.htm
and listen to the poet himself read the poem. Have the students try and write a similar poem about something annoying.
