Teaching Tips:

Have students write a top-ten list of the reasons why they love their mom or dad. Attach students' lists to the back of their collages.
Ask students to write acrostic poems using the words mother or father. The first word in each line of poetry should begin with the letters of the word. For example: My favorite person- Oustanding- Terrific- Huggable- Extra special- Really nice.
Have students write short stories about an important memory with their mother or father. Encourage students to use descriptive language in their writing to make their stories especially vivid.
