Some of the best writing is inspired by the natural world. With the Bronx Zoo's incredible diversity at our fingertips, your students will enhance their observation skills and build literacy as they write odes to toads and creative words about birds. Your students will explore some fundamental forms of poetry and be inspired to create their own poems as they meet an animal in a zoo classroom and explore an exhibit.
