Work in pairs. One of you moves a finger around in the circle. When your partner says 'Stop', perform the action indicated by the segment that the finger lands on.
The wheel activity includes five segments: (1) Provide a new title for the poem - students suggest alternative titles like 'Nature's Bridge' or 'The Beautiful Bow'; (2) Find repeated words from the poem - words like 'sail', 'prettier', 'these' appear multiple times; (3) Share images that come to mind while reading - students describe visualizations of boats, ships, clouds, bridges, and rainbows; (4) Name a musical instrument for singing the poem - students might choose guitar, flute, or piano; (5) Find two pairs of rhyming words - 'seas/these' and 'trees/these' are rhyming pairs in the poem.
