Enjoy!!!!!:)

What is this wonder soft and white,That falls from the sky on this wintery night?

Cool and sparkling, light as a feather,It makes its appearance in cold winter weather.

 My hair is covered and it's all gray.From my shoulders I brush the crystals away.

My tongue is out, to taste the flakes. 

Here comes the plow, to push it aside,Children on sleds, down hillside they slide.Sweet little birds, they pop up their heads,

They're awakened by snow,that falls on their beds. 

Tree limbs are covered with shimmering white.That look like maidens, dressed with delight.

Their limbs bending, under thick white snow.As if thanking God, for love He's bestowed.

 I look out my window in wonderment.I know that this magic is heaven sent.

I cannot imagine not seeing it fall.

A winter without it, I want not to recall. I never shall leave this wondrous season.

For loving it so is the only reason,I live in this region where it snows.

As in winter time, my small world glows.

Why this??• While I was choosing the poem, I wanted

to have a poem that is easy to present visually. The theme “snow” and the author’s word choices made me to choose this poem. Also I found many sympathies and similarities with the author. We both love snow and winter!

The way a crow shook down on meThe dust of snowFrom a hemlock tree

I think this poem symbolled snow as a hope which

changes a mood and gives hope from the faults.

Visual Representation

Explanation of video

• While I was thinking the way to present snow, on Saturday, magically, it was snowing outside! I flimed this video on the first floor of my apartment. My younger brother acted with me and mom recorded it. It was so cold (esp. the part where I put snows on my shoulders and head) but it was fun and I also felt ashamed when people passing me was watching us weirdly. Also because my camera wasn’t able to upload the sound, I had to re rerecorded. ( There will be some parts that doesn’t match with my pronounce) I tried to show the words one by one and used objects to present it.

Thank you
