Dave, I plan to use the sample poetry exercise with my 6th graders next week. I know you mention cutting and pasting the lines of the poem...but I'd have to do it for 21 groups. Would it be too easy for 6th graders to "solve," if I simply gave them the sheet, rather than doing all that cutting and gluing? Barbara/6th/FL
-----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Dave Middlebrook * You'll find the remaining documents here: http://www.textmapping.org/teacherTraining.html#resourcesPrinterReady , about 8 items down on the list, under the heading, "Poetry exercise: Afternoon on a Hill, by Edna St. Vincent Millay (4 document set).. This is a deceptively simple poem that works well at many levels (in terms of connections, inferences, etc.), and for students from upper elementary through college. This is still very much a work in progress, so your feedback would be appreciated. If you use these materials, please let me know what you think.
