I read the kids a few lists from The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon today and asked them to come up with a list of their own. I passed out a handout with suggestions, such as Things That Fall from the Sky, Things That Have Lost Their Power, Annoying Things, and Things Worth Seeing. Here are two poems from class:
Fancy Things
Shoes. Makeup.
Dresses at school.
Books. Bracelets.
Pencils. Skateboards.
-Hamara
Things that Make One's Heart Beat Faster
Weddings.
Going to another school.
Seeing my teachers.
Getting a present.
Doing a great job.
-Samira
