Today, we did Reciprocal Reading. Reciprocal Reading is where a group of people come together to read and analyze a piece of writing in a school journal. We did the poem named “Early” written by Rachel Bush.
Here’s the poem:
“The Darkness wears a quiet sound
“The Darkness wears a quiet sound
of fires died down and people who stir
in sleep. Soon they will slip on
their daily selves, button them up.
A rooster knows the time, says
it out loud when the day is less

This poem is about nighttime, and all of the things that happen in the night. The first paragraph details the day turning to night. The second paragraph details a rooster, telling us about how the rooster clucks when the night comes.
Paragraph three tells us about a car, driving in the night. The car turns on its headlights, illuminating the dark road. The last paragraph talks about an owl hooting, and how the owl is
