1. People Want the Truth
Marinela Reka
The title is indicative of the moral, tell the truth. It is straightforward
and easy to understand. However, its message stays strong. As a result, I
would be able to incorporate this poem in all grade levels. Nevertheless, I
would most likely use it in the lower grades of 1-3. I would also incorporate
other curricular areas. For example, Art. I would have the students create a
three part cartoon that holds the moral of truth. In addition, when they
finished I would have them get into groups and pick their favorite one then
act out their cartoon. I could also have the students practice interviewing
and speaking skill by interviewing another students about one time it was
hard to tell the truth.
