With Mirror, Mirror (BCCB 4/10), Singer introduced the cunning poetic reverso, a free-verse poem that creates a very different meaning when the order of. On their published version of their reverso poem, students included a two-sided illustration that accompanies each side of their poem. Students then drafted and edited their reverso poem. As a prewriting activity, I referred back to Mirror, Mirror and we discussed how the author used punctuation and capitalization to change the meaning of the second, reversed section of the poem. I told students that their poem does not have to be about a fairytale story, like in Mirror, Mirror. As a result, the two parts have different meaning.Īs a way to wrap up the unit, I challenged students to write their own reverso poem. The only changes that can be made are punctuation and capitalization. The second part reverses the lines of the first part. Mirror, Mirror is composed entirely of reverso poems that relate to fairytale stories. Over the past two weeks, my class has been doing various activities using the text, Mirror, Mirror by Marilyn Singer.
