Explore the possibilities of invented words for the sake of adding humor to poetry

A poet often invents words to add humor to his poetry. Dr. Seuss, a popular author of children's books wrote such books as The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. He had the clever talent of inventing words and creating images that are very humorous. He also used forced rhyme very effectively.

I. Independent research: Look up any Dr. Seuss book in your library and type the following information.

1. The title:
2. Author: Dr. Seuss
3. Publisher:
4. Some invented words used in the book that you particularly like.
5. What the funniest stanza (for verse) in the book is, in your opinion.

II. Warm-up

Write three nouns. Try and make up three words for each noun by making a rhyming word. Example: butterfly: tutterfly, wutterfly, shafutterfly

III. Type a short, funny story using invented words for as many things as you can.

Pretend you are in a world that has animals, birds, trees, useful tools, and people that have never been seen before. You are to invent names for all of them.

IV. Read your story aloud.

Does your story sound peculiar? Are some of the events even absurd? Can you imagine using your story to create a game? Or perhaps you will some day see an animated version of your story in a cartoon or full-length movie!
