THAT WAS SUMMER by Marci Ridlon has a very easy frame to use. When we began to look at it deeper we noticed:
- Starts with a question
- Has a list of things that don't have to be related
- After the question in each stanza there are four actions or things happening within the question
- Senses are used near the end of each stanza
- Stanzas 1-3 finish with that was summer (repetition)
- Stanzas 2 & 3 begin with remember the time..?
- Stanza 4 begins with If you try really hard can you remember...
