Post a Dear Poly letter and write a reply via comments to a classmate’s letter.
Example: An excerpt from Barry Lane’s 51 Wacky We-Search Reports
Dear Poly,
I am a right triangle but I would really like to be an equilateral triangle because equilateral triangles are just so cool with their equal sides. I know that we all should be happy with who we are, but I just can’t stop thinking about it.
Signed,
Right triangle with the wrong attitude
Example response from Barry Lane’s 51 Wacky We-Search Reports(This response would be a comment to a classmates Dear Poly letter)
Dear Poly,
ReplyDeleteI have two bases, which are not equal to each other, that's not nice looking. My legs are sometime equal in length; making me an equilateral trapezoid, which is cool. And sometimes my legs are not equal, which is not cool. I am happy to be part of the quadrilateral family, but I want to be perfect like my cousin square. Why can't I be perfect like a square?
Signed,
Trapezoid
