Task
Do you remember how, in Snow White, the wicked Queen used a mirror that always told the truth? This poem is about what happens when different characters look into a mirror that shows what you wish for. Make a list of people who might look into the wishing mirror and think about what they would wish to see. Pie decided to write about – a teacher, a sailor, a superhero, an astronaut, a pirate, a dragon hunter and a writer.
A Mirror of Wishes
As you can see, he has written each idea using the same pattern, based on two lines.
Copy his pattern but use your own characters and ideas about what they might wish for.
You could use the same characters but have different wishes
A teacher looked into the mirror
And saw children happy and smiling
A sailor looked into the mirror
And saw other ships sailing off into the distance
Batman looked into the mirror ...
A Dragon Hunter looked into the mirror ...
A Pirate looked into the mirror ...
A Writer looked into the mirror ...
Or you can choose 6 of your own characters
