In this poem, the person is encouraged to make something new and everyone will want to buy it. Unfortunately all this person can make is things that don't work. They try to make a paper umbrella but no one wants that they won't stay dry. They also try to make reusable gum and mustard flavored ice cream but we all know that it can't be very good. An activity I thought that you could do with your classroom is to have them make something that they think will work for other people. This activity can also be connected with a lesson plan about famous inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell or Orville and Wilbur Wright. The students in your classroom could also present their inventions to the parents at a parent/teacher conference night so that the parents can see that their children are learning new things and creating things they think will work on their own. Who knows you may have a future famous inventor in your classroom just waiting to be shown!
