Today we're going to write poems that describe who we are today and who we were yesterday. We're going to use newspapers to do this activity. What you'll do:
Look up your zodiac sign on the horoscopes provided to you.
Highlight key words/ phrases that relate to you from "today" and from "yesterday."
Arrange the words/ phrases into a found poem with two stanzas 1) yesterday and 2) today.
Write your poem out on a sheet of white paper and use colored pencils to decorate.
Happy half day!

Here's a student sample:
Today is a 7
Next four weeks: Soul-search
Take time, make decisions
Sleep soundly again
Take a deep breath from my hectic pace.
Yesterday was an 8
Had a conversation with an old friend
Did me a world of good
Couldn't see him, so I called.
We laughed the whole time;
We center each other.
