"If I Were in Charge of the World"
Re-Tellings of the Original Poem
by Judith Viorst

Mrs. Dingman's 5th Grade

After listening to the poem, "If I Were in Charge of the World" by Judith Viorst, we created our own versions. We made decisions about things we'd cancel and keep, with wonderful insight, thoughtfulness, humor, and creativity.
We made great use of our classroom computers as we prepared our poetry using Microsoft Word. We will continue to practice using the Spell Check Tool, understanding that careful checking is still needed. Spell Check doesn't understand context!
Enjoy our poetry!
