The chronicles of crows: A Tale of the Springtime (1848) - I have included the full poem, complete with the original pictures. I then provide it with the pictures and no words, and then the words and no pictures and finally as a simple CLOZE, where the students need to complete the missing word in the second line of each part of the poem. The pictures without words are a charming Victorian border. The students could write their own Spring poems in this section and make a lovely Spring display. I have always been drawn to crows, not in any dark teenage-poet way, but because they are big, handsome, super-clever, and remind me of the chilly Michigan spring. It seemed so charming at first, with the crows working together, building their homes, laying their eggs and raising their babies in great swooping flocks. But the story takes a ghastly turn as the nearby farmers gather to get rid of the rookery. I kept thinking that the smart, sassy crows would eventually outwit the mean, brutish humans. How wrong I was. The crows are shot and made into pies, even the young ones, and the birds that survive are left to mourn, “How well we know / There is no joy unmixed with woe.” Um, anyway, happy spring, and here’s a Monday assortment of pertinent items to help you get over the sense of mortal dread sinking in your chest after that morbid Victorian warning.

You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different invaders being shown in each of the photos.

My students love to doodle. They love incomplete pictures and a challenge. It lets them be creative.

I found the book A LITTLE Catechism, WITH LITTLE VERSES, AND LITTLE SAYINGS, FOR Little Children, printed for John Lawrence at the Angel in the Poultrey, 1692. I thought wouldn't it be fun to mix these old saying with some modern images. I converted the book into a set of three presentations to make it easy for a teacher to share and discuss them with the class. It is a nice way of seeing what ideas have endured the tests of time, and which ideas would now be considered a shocking idea. This is also a nice insight into what people believed in the Middle Ages.
