Three-Sentence Overview of this Lesson:
Inspired by both William Carlos Williams and the main character in Sharon Creech's Love That Dog, the writer will create four original 16-word poems that capture interesting images. The writer will then choose a favorite 16-word poem and ask, "Why would so much depend upon that image to someone else?" The writer can then create a short story about an original character who might have written the 16-word poem.
