After reading and analyzing “Sunglasses” by Angela Shelf Medearis, students created a custom pair of sunglasses. The sunglasses show how they view themselves. The opposing side illustrates how others perceive them. Students also spend time writing a haiku to go with their sunglasses.
The poem:
"Sunglasses"
I wear these dark glasses
because they’re really cool
(and because I don’t want you to see
the fear
in my eyes).
I walk like I do
because
I’m trying to keep
from running.
I try to stay alive with a rap
style that drives ‘em wild
with what I say each and every day
because
no one seems to
understand me
when I’m talking anyway.
