Poems
I really enjoyed the form poems we did in class. I am always curious to find new ways to help readers with comprehension. At first, I was very confused at how these poems worked - but creating one in class (or beginning to) was very interesting. I think, going along with Ray's discussion of writing craft, this will be a great tool for focusing on new vocabulary and how to put into use in current writing.

Amber I totally agree with you. I thought that the poem activity was very helpful. As we said in class, it really can sum up a longer passage and make the text more interesting. It can also serve as a great way to get students excited and engaged in the reading as a pre-reading activity. It is also a good way to focus on key vocabulary words!
