Title – Odes to my Classroom

By – Maria Marrero

Primary Subject – Language Arts

Secondary Subjects – Other

Grade Level – 2-6

This is a good end of year lesson to integrate poetry into language arts. I read aloud Odes by Pablo Neruda, Odas Elementales, and Gary Soto to my Spanish bilingual students. We talk about giving compliments to objects and things. I make a template that younger students have to fill in:

Oh, my bilingual classroom

My classroom is ___________

There are ___________

I learn _____________

and speak ____________

The classroom is not so ________ as a __________

and it is not _________

but it is _________

Oh, my bilingual classroom!

For older students I talk about hyperbole, “an exaggerated compliment.”

The students write their odes in both languages.
