Activity 4D: How Old is Old? Extension: Other Life Spans and New Verses

Read the children's book How Old is Old? by Ann Combs. This delightful book seeks to answer the question to the satisfaction of a four-year-old in a poetic fashion, in which his grandfather explains that “old” is a relative concept—it depends on who or what you are. Students are to write a paragraph—or a poem—in their journal to explain “how old is old?”

Keywords: 

Old, poetry, life span
