The Tyger
by William Blake
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer and what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare it's deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile, his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

www.5tigers.org is a wonderful site with a children's section.

When ds was into sharks, I got a couple of unit study books on sharks from the local teacher supply/education store. They had great ideas for projects to do. We made a tiger shark out of a paper towel tube, some sandpaper and markers. It was so cool.

We did a biome diorama of the ocean, we did clay models of sharks, we made posters by drawing and doing collages that gave information on sharks (like which sharks are most likely to attack humans or diagramming the anatomy of a shark)- he loved these and they decorated his walls for a long time, we visited aqua zoos and museums that had displays and housed living sharks. We read books, etc. Everything else we did involved writing since he is older than your dd.

I kind of like that emmersion into a topic. I do it too. So I encourage it in my son.

Check out www.enchantedlearning.com especially the craft section (not much on tigers - just a few printouts- but tons on other topics, some that you could adapt). I tried finding good sites on tigers for kids, but the only one I liked was already posted.
