 Title:  The Inner Planet
Written and narrated by:  Michele Clercent
Purpose:  This poem focuses on the order and characteristics of the following planets:  Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.  
Justification:  The piece was penned as part of my writing portfolio for Promoting Writing in the Primary Grades.  It was written with grade three students in mind who are required to learn about the planets in Science and Technology.  In addition, poetry is an excellent instructional tool.

    Good Job Michele! This is a very informational poem which is perfect for a Solar System Science and Technology lesson. I can see you using this piece as an introduction to your Science lesson. This piece was well articulated. The sounds, images etc were very good.

    This video brings out the essential concepts and content for this topic. It can be used by teachers in most grades especially the upper grades. The images used matched the content which will enhance students' understanding of this topic which can be abstract to some students.
    Very useful
