Autumn Poem

I've created this worksheet for my older students.

I'll work on the poem by adding gestures (miming) to what is being said. It will be an active listening activity. I'll associate certain words to gestures and when I read the poem, the students are expected to make the correct gestures as they listen to the words.

Confusing? Mmm maybe not. Just use your imagination. This can be a very activity for Kinesthetic learners.
