A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Last week, we thoroughly enjoyed the innovative performance of Shakespeare’s famous play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  In particular, we enjoyed the strong characters of the fairies: Oberon – the King; Titania – the Queen and Puck – the mischievous sprite. In Maple 2, we are planning to write our own narratives inspired by this play.  To get ourselves warmed up, today’s challenge is to write a simple poem about one of these characters.

Remember to use some of the pronouns we have been learning about; remember to think carefully about your word choices so that your words paint a picture of your character in your reader’s mind.
