Beautiful poem a la Cummings, Robin. And congratulations on your 100th post (I peeked at yesterday too). What a bunch of writing! It's been a good time this year getting to know you, Robin.

This is great - ...I love your In Just Spring poem! This is great - I love that you revised your poem for this year too. I think sharing an exemplar text and then writing in that style is fun for students and us :) I loved all the onomatopoeia in your poem, and the emphasis on those words. <br /><br />Your 8th grade ELA teacher sounds fantastic! I love your comment that she would let her students develop and explore content without her dictating that the finished product had to look like hers. I tell my students something similar, as their answers are supposed to be different to mine and their friend's.<br /><br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
