All My Great ExcusesFrom the book Revenge of the Lunch LadiesI started on my homework but my pen ran out of ink. My hamster ate my homework. My computer’s on the blink. I accidentally dropped it in the soup my mom was cooking. My brother flushed it down the toilet when I wasn’t looking. My mother ran my homework through the washer and the dryer. An airplane crashed into our house. My homework caught on fire. Tornadoes blew my notes away. Volcanoes struck our town. My notes were taken hostage by an evil killer clown. Some aliens abducted me. I had a shark attack. A pirate swiped my homework and refused to give it back. I worked on these excuses so darned long my teacher said, “I think you’ll find it’s easier to do the work instead.” — Kenn Nesbitt Copyright © 2007. All Rights Reserved.

Oh, Did You Need That Homework? [poetry friday]One of the highlights of my month was this email I got from Mrs. Angie Rider, a fifth-grade teacher in Minnesota. She said, in part: Around the March Madness that was taking place in March, my class decided to do a poetry tournament where they would listen to many different forms of poetry as they were learning about each one and decide which poems to move forward on our LARGE classroom brackets. As you can see on the photo that is attached, there were many great poems and poets shared with the students to illustrate couplets, quatrains, cinquains, concrete, acrostic, etc. A couple of your poems from Do Buses Eat Kids and BookSpeak! moved forward several brackets. The final winner was ?Oh, Did You Need That Homework?? The students felt that poetry was one of their favorite writing units this year as they could express themselves in many different ways and use a voice of their choice to share something with other readers. My class wanted to extend a big thank you to you and other poets for inspiring them to enjoy the art of poetry writing and say congratulations for winning our final brackets in our poetry tournament. How. Awesome. Is. That? And they sent this picture, which I’m sharing with permission. Really, there’s not much a writer likes to hear more than, “I liked your writing.” Getting an email from a teacher and her kids–that is totally amazing. When you as a teacher share something like this with a writer, you inspire and cheer that person. Thank you so much! And, here’s the poem, which is from Do Buses Eat Kids? Poems About School (Capstone, 2008). Here I am reading it, too. I did a short Skype with Mrs. Rider’s class, and I got to read them this poem, which was fun. I haven’t read it in years! And I got to hear a fun poem by one of the students and answer a few writing questions. What a nice connection for me to make.

36 ResponsesWow Laura — what a wonderful (and well-deserved) way to finish Poetry month. I adore the poem and I love that there are schools doing such amazing work with poetry. Exactly, Sally! I get so excited when I hear about/from teachers who really celebrate poetry in the classroom–especially since reading and writing poetry strengthens so many non-poetry literacy skills, too. Thanks:>) Laura, it is wonderful that the 5th grade class celebrated poetry and brought your poem to the top of the class. After reading it, I can see why they loved your poem so much. It is clever, fresh, and filled with fun. Thanks, Carol–the school poems for that book were tough for me to write. Out of a set of 10 Capstone poetry books, the school and food ones just about killed me! But the dog poem was fun to write:>) Laura, One of the best awards of all–a class award by students who love poetry! Congratulations! Thanks, Linda! That really did make me feel so good:>) Fabulous, Laura! I’d take a teacher note over a Thinkier trophy any day. 🙂 And I thought “my dog ate my homework” was just an excuse. Silly me. Me, too! Thanks, Michelle. It was very exciting. And all cliches have to start with the truth, right;>) Ha! (…or should I say, “WOOF!”) Exactly–I was wagging my tail in excitement:>) Congratulations! What a great surprise, and I love the March Madness poetry brackets! I can see why that “homework chomping pup” won the hearts of Mrs. Rider’s fifth graders. Thanks, Catherine:>) I love this version of “the dog ate my homework”…which I’ve heard SO many times! Thanks, Tara! It’s amazing that kids are still trying to use that. Wonderful poem and great kudos, what fun! Thanks, Brenda–it was really kind of the teacher to contact me and let me know! I tried to do my homework Miss really Miss I did I bought myself a brand new pen but struggled with the lid. I tried to do my homework Miss I wouldn’t tell a lie sadly it was stolen by a pig as he flew by. I tried to do my homework Miss you know I love to write A goblin came and took my thumb as I slept late last night. I tried to do my homework Miss but had to take a break I used the time constructively and baked a wedding cake. I didn’t do my homework Miss I didn’t even try would it help my cause Miss if I started to cry?! I really liked your homework poem. I hope you don’t mind me sending you this one I wrote.

I tried to do my homework, But a show was on the TV, A song was in the radio, And a friend was texting me. My E-mail chimed, And so of course I had to look at that, It linked me to a video of someone silly cat, I watched a dozen videos, And then I played a game, I almost didn't hear her, When my mother called my name. And when I looked at the clock, It was time to go to bed, I didn't get my homework done , Just other stuff instead. I hope My teacher listens, To the sort of my interaction, It's really not my fault, This early is just a big distraction. Rate this contentMore english poem from sushma kanojia. I Tried To Do...

I need to do my homework. I really shouldn't wait. If I don't do it right away, my homework will be late. But first I'll check my messages. Oh, look, I got a text. I probably should answer it, then do my homework next. My friend says there's a video I simply have to see. I'll watch it first, and do my homework momentarily.
