“Ice Cream” – Michael Rosen
1.From the title of this poem, what do you think the mood will be? Why?
2.Do you think the mother’s reaction was fair? Do you have sympathy for the father?
3.Do you think the mother’s reaction was really based on ice cream? What else could the problem be?
4.Tell me about a situation like the one in the poem you have been involved in. Were you the one that caused the reaction, or did you react? How did it turn out?
