I like that idea, I'm going to order the book Awakening the Heart.

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
Jen, Is there any way that we could have a focused discussion around a
shared read on the list. That might be a way of getting back our original
focus. This poetry discussion is interesting. Might we take it deeper by
some of us agreeing to read a good book on teaching poetry as a group?
Know
we've done it in the past. Would it work again??? Maybe even choose one
of
Georgia Heard's books. I would love to reread - I have several. What
about
awakening the heart. Just a thought.
I get weary of finding programs and ways that we have to compromise our
practices out there in schools. Know that is important discussion as well
but this other kind of discussion is what fills me up and gives me hope.
That may be most important at this time in education history!

I did it all the time... Great way to help kids understand the purposes
of
poetic devices... How they affect the reader. It's that whole idea of
"reading
like a writer..." what affect does onomatopoeia or alliteration have on
your
ability to create a mental image??

I use poetry to teach inferring. Off the top of my head I can say I use
Every
Living Thing by Cynthia Rylant. I also love anything by Georgia
Heard...Awakening the Heart is awesome.
I really would be interested in what others would have to say about
teaching
the strategies using poetry. I think that might be a little tricky if
the
kids didn't have a background in poetic devices.

Morning all! While we're on the subject of poetry, has anybody compiled
poems to teach the comprehension strategies? As a reading specialist
who
goes into rooms I don't have the luxury of tying my lesson to a book
previously read or start a picture book that I can finish later and I'd
like
to actually keep to a mini-lesson. I end up spending too much time
because
I use picture books which I totally love doing and am fortunate enough
to
have a great collection, but.........I'm losing the mini in
mini-lesson! If
anyone has compiled a list of poems for the different strategies and is
willing to share I'd be grateful. If not, that'll be next summer's
project.
I work in 4th grade primarily. Thanks! norma An old man once said,
"There
comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and
people
who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh.
Forget
the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right,
pray
for the ones who don
't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part
of
life, getting back up is living."
