4. I’m a Leprechaun Lyrics and Narrative Writing

Print a copy of the lyrics to the song, I’m a Leprechaun. There is also a youtube link to the song to listen with your students. Let them sing along! Then write a story from the point of view of the Leprechaun in the song. Review figurative language with them and require them to use it! It will make the paper silly just like leprechauns! Please note: The word “drunk” is in the song. It says, “You can call me a drunk or you can call me a liar. But one night in the woods, yes I saw a fire”
