After listening to the story, The Best Part of Me, learners will identify a positive physical feature of themselves, and create a descriptive poem about their favorite feature. Photographs are taken, and a nice final draft of the poem is written. The images and poem are pasted to poster board and displayed in the class. Nice idea!
