These middle grade expository books are written in prose, but I’ve been writing STEM poetry for years, so that’s what I did for this author visit mini-comic. <\/p>\n

In the What is your favorite BIG animal?<\/em><\/a> mini-comic, I’ve written two pocket poems about two of the creatures in the MEGA-COOL MEGAFAUNA Creatures of Today<\/em> book. Each pocket poem is based on two facts from the book. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What will the third poem be? That’s up to you–and your students! Write two facts about your favorite BIG animal on page 6 and write a pocket poem using those facts on page 7. Then draw your animal on page 8. <\/p>\n
