Description

“What does this poem mean?” “How should I read it?” “How do we talk about it?” “What do I DO with it?” “What's the best way to assess it?” “How do I meet standards?” “When can I possibly fit it into my already over-packed day?” Have you ever asked these questions about poetry? The 30 Painless Classroom Poems series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to share poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, these books are for you. The poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by experienced classroom teachers, and tips for using poetry in your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time. In Riddle-ku: Haiku for Very Close Reading, award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be…, and more) offers up 30 haiku written as riddles from the point of view of everyday objects. This collection is great for exploring point of view, metaphor, haiku, making inferences, and close reading. These poems are simple, clever, and accessible. Extension activities by teacher Marcie Flinchum Atkins share ideas for spring-boarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas. Sample: I'm a secret wand I wave over blank paper, make words…worlds…magic! Two b/w photos give students clues. The first is a close-up pic, and the second is a regular one. Students can combine the visual and the language clues to find the right answer--in this case--PENCIL! A Note from the Poet: It's fun to use words that have a lot of the same letters but totally different meanings, like “words” and “worlds.” Somehow they echo off each other and make each word stronger in a poem.
