Copy and complete the paragraph your period wrote:
IVF Paragraph on
Theme: Period 4
Anna Denise’s poem, “How to Change
a Frog Into a Prince,” teaches the reader the importance of patience.While she is describing the process of
dressing the prince, Denise writes, “If he gets his tights on, even backwards,
praise him.” Even if he doesn’t get it right the first time, being patient will
prevent you from becoming frustrated. Another example of patience falls at the
very end of the poem when Denise states, “Relax. There’s time enough for
crowns. He’ll grow into it.” [Finish the paragraph with another sentence of
analysis and one closing sentence.]
IVF Paragraph on
Theme: Period 5
Anna
Denise’s poem, “How to Change a Frog Into a Prince,” teaches the reader to be
patient when waiting for someone to change. After he struggles to get dressed,
Denise writes, “wait … for the rest of him to catch up.” It’s easy for part of
him to change, but the rest of him is still scuffling, so we must be patient.
Not only does the reader need to let him catch up, she needs to sit back.
Denise writes, “Relax. There’s time enough for crowns. He’ll grow into it.”
[Finish this paragraph with one sentence of analysis and one closing sentence
of evaluation.]
