Internet Investigator
Go to my website and click on the link Lewis and Clark. Choose one of the animals listed. Read the information about that animal and write a concrete poem about the animal you chose. A concrete poem is a poem in the shape of the thing that the poem is about. For example, a poem about the ocean may have the words flowing across the page in the shape of the waves.
