During my recent conference, I attended a great double session on lesson analysis. The beginning of the session had us read a short article (I believe that was put together by the presenters) and write a summary.
After being inspired by She Writes Because, I decided to reread the short article and write a found poem. The article was a great introduction to the purpose of using Backward Design, which was the basis for the session. The poem is okay. I am not sure about it. I am definitely going to come back to it, but I thought I would share my first try.
What are your thoughts on writing a found poem using a nonfiction text?
I love your poem! I especially agree with impossible when no one knows where they are going. Kids need direction. That's why I believe in conferring so much in workshop. It allows us to see if they are going in the direction that we think we've explained well.
ReplyDeleteI love your bright colors. I'm slowly making my way around to everyone on SOLC, so hello.
