The poem “Street Music”. by Arnold Adoff, is quite different from the poems you've read so far. 

1. Look at the poem in your Learning Guide. What do you notice about the structure of this poem? Come up with your own ideas before checking below. If your ideas are not exactly the same, that is OK.

Answer - some letters and words are spaced or placed in unusual ways; - it’s difficult to tell if there are stanzas and lines.

2. Listen to the video introduction; then, read the poem aloud (following along in your Learning Guide) with the recording at least twice. Pay attention to the structure of the poem and see if you can find the onomatopeia.
