One Thing at a Time

Given: The poem 'One Thing at a Time' teaches us about the value of focus.

Answer: It is important to focus on doing one thing at a time because when we give our full attention to one task, we do it better and more carefully. If we try to do many things at once, we may make mistakes and nothing gets done properly. As the poem says, 'All that you do, do with all your might; things done by halves are never done right.' Focusing on one task at a time helps us finish it well and feel proud of our work.

Given: The poem 'One Thing at a Time' contains several pairs of rhyming words.

The following pairs of words rhyme in the poem:

2. halves – (no direct rhyme given in the excerpt, but in the full poem other pairs exist)

From the lines provided in the exercise:

- 'hill' rhymes with 'still' (from the riddle verse)

Note: Students should read the full poem and list all rhyming pairs. Common rhyming pairs in the poem include: might/right, time/rhyme, day/way, do/you.
