My Mental Image: Green Giant


You are creating your own giant! Listen to the poem and follow along. 
Pay close attention to the describing words that are bolded In the story. 

Green Giant - by Jack Prelutsky

There lived a green giant whose name was Sam.

His hair was the color of strawberry jam.

He had one brown and one blue eye,

And a beard the color of pumpkin pie.

His coat and pants were oh so bright,

Like a peppermint stick all red and white.

His socks were as yellow as lemon pop.

His shoes were as brown as a chocolate drop.

His hat was the color of gingerbread,

with a tall, tall feather of rasberry red.

Listen to the poem a second time to really visualize the giant in your head!

1

What color is the giant's hair?

1

What color are his eyes?

1

What color is the giant's beard?

1

What did his coat and pants look like?

1

If the Giant's coat and pants "looked like a peppermint stick," what pattern are his clothes?

1

What color were his socks?

1

What color are his shoes?

1

What color is his hat?

1

What is on his hat?

Listen to the poem ONE MORE TIME, really visualizing what the Green Giant looks like.

Now, you are to draw the Green Giant! Make sure to draw it as closely to the poem as you can! If you need to listen to the poem again, you may! 

When you are done drawing your giant, have your adult take a picture and send it through Dojo. I will be posting the pictures on Google Classroom for the whole class to see (that includes the principals)!!
