FYV: Lesson 4 - Watermelon Time

Lesson 4  What is your storytelling style?
 This is Prompt 1. (Prompt 2 is with the main lesson plan.)
   http://gertiessimplethings.blogspot.com/2013/07/fyv-lesson-4-part-2.html



Prompt 1 (Crafting Based)
Pick out two different storytelling styles and tell the same story using different styles.
I had a lot of fun with this one.  It is just a fun, summer post.  Two storytelling styles - I chose photos and poetry.


                  Watermelon Time

What’s juicy, sweet,  a summer  treat
For cooling off in summer’s heat?
Here’s a clue – it’s green and round,
Thump it and it makes a sound.
You know it’s Watermelon!


Carve it open, salt all ‘round
Bite into the bright red mound,
Don’t need knife or spoon or fork,
Dig right in, don’t be a dork!
It’s good ol’ watermelon!


Icy cold, the juice runs down,
Spit the seeds upon the ground.
Young or old, it doesn't matter,
Eat your fill, you won’t get fatter.
It’s just water melon!   

 
If you eat it when you’re young,
The mem’ry stays upon your tongue,
And though the years may come and go,
You know you never will outgrow
Your love for watermelon!

  4. Oh this is just lovely. I love then and now photos. Robyn is right it would make a fun song - like the the "we all scream for ice cream" rhyme.
