I'm currently planning a lesson to do with 4th-6th graders as part of a practicum in my Education program at university. I was hoping to select a poem that is very descritive to read to the kids as they draw what they see through the words.

Chapter 7 -- "Rescued!" Anthony woke up in the dark, freezing. He managed to rummage around and find a nice thick sweatshirt. Taking a drink of bottled water, he saw that the sky was clear and it looked as though the stars were hanging down low, relaxed, as if backstage, unobserved, after a tiring performance.
