Activity #2
Directions:
1. Read the poem Eight Balloons by Shel Silverstein below.
2. Listen to the poem Eight Balloons by Shel Silverstein below by watching the video.
3. Read this after you have finished step one and two!
One lesson Shel Silverstein (remember, he's the author!) might be trying to teach you with the poem, Eight Balloons is that, like the balloons, sometimes when we are free to make our own choices, we can get caught in the wrong places. The balloons were free, but some popped on cactuses and on highways. When people are free to make our own choices, sometimes we make mistakes and get ourselves into trouble. However, at the end of the poem, Shel Silverstein wrote that the balloons were "free to pop where the wanted to." If the balloon wanted to make the choice to fly into the sun, even though it knew it would pop, at least it had the power to choose where it would pop. Freedom and the ability to make your own choices, even though you might make mistakes or make the wrong choice, is very powerful.
