Introduction:
Beast Feast is a collection of humorous poems about animals. The Firefly paints a mental imagine of the Firefly as it flies through the night sky. As the students meander in, dim the lights and pass out flashlights.
The Firefly
By Douglas Florian
On August nights
The firefly lights
Blink
ON and OFF
Amongst the trees
But have no need
For batteries
[From BEAST FEAST written and illustrated by Douglas Florian, 1994, 0152951784]
Extension:
Whisper as you read the poem, turning on and off your flashlight. The second time you read the flashlight, invite the students to ‘BLLINK’ their flashlight along with you.
