The following represents the work of 4th grade students during  Private Eye lessons

 Looking closely

 Drawing what you see with a jewelers loupe

Thinking

 Reminds me of...

Looks like...

 Writing

Composing a poem from observations

Sunflower Dandelion

By Lilly

A dandelion spreads its powerful petals

like strikes of lightning

sending out a warning.

Whale-like petals crash up and down

below a blazing sun.

By day they are like miniature blazing suns

so hot and bright yellow.

In the evening they spin & spiral up

And close into a silent SNAP!

 

DANDELION

By Olivia

A dandelion is like a forest

Stretching on and on.

Like roots holding the trees in place

and leaves falling to make a jagged top.

A dandelion is like an owl’s eye

Very yellow & bright

Wise & happy.

Dandelions

By Parker

Dandelions explode like fireworks,

Dancing and creating ripples

throughout its surface.

Dandelions spiral like

Spinning suns

Spiral staircases,

Twirling tornadoes,

And Wild whirlpools.

 

Dandelion

By Kiarah

Dandelions are like a fourth of July Celebration

fireworks exploding

While people sit watching on

Top of a hill.

Petals swirl around

Like burst of sunlight

in the dark sky.

Dandelion
By Odin

A dandelion looks like a tornado

In a bird’ eye view

It reminds me of a

Yellow sea urchin

Left on the beach.
