Sample: I’m a secret wand I wave over blank paper, make words…worlds…magic! Two b/w photos give students clues. The first is a close-up pic, and the second is a regular one. Students can combine the visual and the language clues to find the right answer--in this case--PENCIL! A Note from the Poet: It’s fun to use words that have a lot of the same letters but totally different meanings, like “words” and “worlds.” Somehow they echo off each other and make each word stronger in a poem.
