Students will brainstorm lost homework excuses and write a poem about an outrageous excuse for not having a homework assignment. The teacher reads the poem A Remarkable Adventure. The students choose their favorite excuse that they wrote in their notebook and compose a poem about it.
Students then share their poems with the class.
The poem will be submitted to the website. Each student receives a certificate signed by Jack Prelutsky, with a chance that the poem could be posted on the website.
