• Go HERE and read the poem "Saving the World with Waffles" by Ted Scheu.
  
• Go to this page and read the poem "The Aliens Have Landed!" by Kenn Nesbitt http://poetry4kids.com/modules.php?name=Poems&file=index&poemid=141
  
• Go to this page and read the poem "Alien" by Richard Macwilliam http://www.richardmacwilliam.com/alien.html

You might need all three poems "open" at the same time to do your assignment.  You can do this in several ways:  You can copy/paste the three poems to a Word document and print the pages or if you are using Internet Explorer  you can choose FILE, choose NEW, choose WINDOW and open three different windows on your internet browser.   Then you can go to the three different sites and have them open at the same time.  

After you have read the poems:

• Divide a piece of drawing paper into thirds.  Put the name of one poem at the top of each column.  Draw a picture of what you think the alien looks like in each poem. Color the pictures.

OR

• Divide a piece of drawing paper into 9 sections.   Draw a 3 panel comic strip about each poem. (If you need more boxes then fold the paper into the appropriate number of squares or use a different piece of paper for each comic strip.) Color the comic strip and turn it in to your teacher.

Wanna write a New Poem?

Kids always like to read about aliens and think about what life on other planets might be like.  Aliens make great ideas for poems, too.   Here are some things to think about before writing your alien poem.

• Did the alien come here?
• Did you go there?
• Is the alien your age?
• Is the alien an adult?
• What does the aliens' house and school look like?
• What does the alien look like?
• What do aliens eat?

Open a Word document and write your poem.  Give the poem a name. Remember...your poem does not have to rhyme.

Print the poem and turn it in to your teacher.
