AIR SHOW

Writing a Small Poem

What is the story? During World War II, my grandparents built the P-51 Mustang in an airplane factory in Inglewood, California, a city in Los Angeles County. My father took us to air shows at the base he worked at when I was growing up.

Years later, I wrote a 40 word poem about historic airplanes that became the picture book AIR SHOW. My grandparents built a plane with an animal name, so I used animal names for ALL of the planes in this picture book poem.

Now it’s your turn! What is your AIRPLANE story?

After you write your poem, download the What would you name a new airplane? mini-comic and name your own plane! (Follow the directions in the Fold a mini-comic guide.)
