"Pretend" (Action poem by Nancy Klein)

Spread your arms, way out wide,
Fly like a Pteranodon, soar and glide

Bend to the floor, head down low,
Move like Stegosaurus, long ago.

Reach up tall, try to be
As tall as Apatosaurus eating on a tree.

Use your claws, grumble and growl
Just like Tyrannosaurus on the prowl.

EVALUATION
Students will perform for another class.
