I saw the viewpoints of some children who may not like poetry to begin with. For example, the boy in the book had the idea that only girls wrote poetry. All the Small Poems and Fourteen More. Lucky Nose, Brownies-Oops! History of a Name.

Today the class learned about Haiku. I felt motivated to write some, so I did. Jumping to see the princess. Kiss and get a wart. Whispering a song for me. It was fun, and the kids were so into it! I was so excited about it too! I love those kids. On an aside, holy cow, Michelle Obama is TALL. Shew! February 4, 2009. So, seriously, poetry? January 26, 2009.

My full name is Amanda Sue Rasgsdale. I am Amanda, not Mandy.

What can I do but be totally honest? The unit is awesome. The authors absolutely took the time to create a masterpiece that will engage students in an unbelievable way. But as for me, when I read through it knowing right now I am the student, I will also have to say WOW! How will I have the time to do all that groovey stuff? History of a Name. What is in a name? Chapter 2 Notebook Know How.

Knights and the Middle Ages Multi-Text. I am despicably cruel and me crew is dreadfully mean. I wonder how people can be kind, those scallywags are too clean! I hear the cackle of pirates long lost or long dead. I pretend I have diamonds and jeweled rings of red and green.

The History of My Name. Wow After I looked up the ratings on my name at www. I wonder if we are anything alike? Notebook Know How pp1-15.

I hope my future students can say the same thing about me one of these days. I LOVED the poetry books that we read for this class. The unique style of writing a novel entirely in free verse poetry in. Was This is Just to Say.

I really like the way the unit starts out. Pirate music playing in the background and pirate objects all around the room. The children would be hooked. I also think that the Pirate Notebook is a wonderful idea. By having a place to keep all Pirate Materials, students are more likely to keep up with stuff. I think that this is a well written unit and I hope that I will have the opportunity to use it at some point in my teaching career.

This would be a terrific book to introduce poetry within the classroom. Is going to be a great tool for me and I am looking forward to reading more.
