Task 2. Read Along

Read along silently as your teacher reads the poem.

Someday
by Bobbi Katz

Don’t you wish that you could say

You are your mom and dad someday?
Then you could tell your parents stuff
Like maybe they’re not clean enough?

Sure, you could say, “It’s time for bed,”

When they would rather play instead,
Or when they want hot dogs to eat,
“Pass the spinach!” “Pass the meat!”

Yes, it would be such fun, if say,

You are your mom and dad someday,
And they might learn a lesson, too,
When all the orders come from you!”

Now, it’s time for you to read it aloud.

Let’s Study This

Let’s answer these questions:

 What wish does the poem tell about?
 Which of the things that are said in the poem have been said to you?

The poem tells some things that you could say to your parents if you could be your
mom or dad.

Read the last lines that tell the following:

1. What could you say to your parents about being clean?

2. What could you say when your parents want to stay up late and play?

3. What could you say when your parents want hotdogs to eat?

Let’s Remember This

 Whenever we read texts or literary articles we should always be accurate, with

appropriate rate and enunciate words properly.

 We should always be polite to others, specially to our parents, as well as others at

all times.

 In reacting to poems, movies, or stories, we should always be able to share our

thoughts and opinions but we should also be wary about others’ feelings.
Nonetheless, we should always be open to criticism and respects others’ opinions as
well.

Task 5. Analyze This

Read this poem and answer the questions that follow:

I CAN FLY
by Felice Holman

I can fly, of course

Very low, Not fast,
Rather slow
I spread my arms
Like wings,
Lean on the wind,
And my body zings
About.
Nothing showy-
A few loops
And turns-
But for the most part
I just coast.
However,
Since people are prone to talk about it
I generally prefer
Unless I am alone,
Just to walk about

Questions:
1. What does the speaker in the poem say she can do?
2. Would you enjoy doing the same thing? Why or why not.
