If you don't have all the instruments suggested, substitute or consider body percussion. There are many choices to create your presentation. The teaching suggestions provide a framework for instruction, but can be manipulated to best fit your students' abilities. The enclosed CD-ROM offers projectable and printable options. You can read the poem to your students, select several of your students to read, or even have the students act them out!
