When the Moon is Full (Multicultural)

By: Penny Polluck


In this poetry book, there is a poem for each month of the year. Each month is named corresponding to a seasonal activity that was popular with the Native Americans. I would read each poem at the beginning of each month and discuss the month’s moon name. This book could also help students learn a little each month about the Native Americans.  During the holiday season, the students will make Wordle pages using descriptive words to describe their holiday experiences or favorite parts. I would connect math with this by comparing and contrasting the number of repeated words within my student's work, as well as making graphs to help quantify these values. Also, I could use the book as an example for students to create poems and depict them on Wordle as well.
