Recycling/Solid Waste Education with Shel Silverstein: "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout"

Both poetry analysis and waste disposal are more engaging topics for young readers with a worksheet to accompany the Shel Silverstein poem 'Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out" from Where the Sidewalk Ends. Not only does the resource explore the issue of trash and what is compostable or recyclable, it incorporates comprehension, analysis, and vocabulary building related to the poem.
