A phenomenal book. The artwork and the level of detail in the creation left me in awe. My regard for sports in general is lukewarm at best, but I love, adore, baseball. When I was little and my parents couldn't find me, they went straight to the baseball field at our local park and I'd be there in the stands, so Casey at the Bat tugs all the right heartstrings for me and I can't imagine a better presentation for this bit of American poetry.

Awesome.

Poetry - Narrative

This is about Casey who is up to bat at the biggest game of the season. He knows that he has to his a homer in order to win the game which shouldn't be a problem for him because he is the leading home run scorer. With the roaring crowd in the background and his team on his side, Casey strikes out to lose the game.

I think that this is a good lesson to teach about ego and getting a big head when nothing is guaranteed. Casey obviously had it set in his mind that he was going to win this game and be a hero for all time but that wasn't how it ended. I believe that this is a great lesson to teach because it can be used for the rest of your students' lives.… (mais)
